As Anonymous stated, you can just use an ORDER BY command at the end of your SQL queries to sort your output by any field you prefer. And yes, you need placeholders (or at least some function to safe all your form values before inserting them into queries), and I'm guessing from looking at your query that that could be made a lot more compact as well. But here's a code sample that demonstrates how to sort on fax:

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my $form; $form->{'all_shipto'} = [ { 'country' => { 'label' => 'Namn', 'i' => 3 }, 'name' => { 'label' => 'Klinik', 'i' => 11 }, 'contact' => { 'label' => 'Remitterad av', 'i' => 9 }, 'phone' => { 'label' => 'Remiss utgångsdatum', 'i' => 10 }, 'zipcode' => { 'label' => 'Postnr', 'i' => 6 }, 'state' => { 'label' => 'Frikort, utgångsdatum', 'i' => 8 }, 'address2' => { 'label' => '', 'i' => 5 }, 'email' => { 'label' => 'Klinik adress', 'i' => 12 }, 'city' => { 'label' => 'Stad', 'i' => 7 }, 'fax' => { 'label' => 'A', 'i' => 2 }, 'address1' => { 'label' => 'Adress', 'i' => 4 } }, { 'country' => { 'label' => 'Namn', 'i' => 3 }, 'name' => { 'label' => 'Klinik', 'i' => 11 }, 'contact' => { 'label' => 'Remitterad av', 'i' => 9 }, 'phone' => { 'label' => 'Remiss utgångsdatum', 'i' => 10 }, 'zipcode' => { 'label' => 'Postnr', 'i' => 6 }, 'state' => { 'label' => 'Frikort, utgångsdatum', 'i' => 8 }, 'address2' => { 'label' => '', 'i' => 5 }, 'email' => { 'label' => 'Klinik adress', 'i' => 12 }, 'city' => { 'label' => 'Stad', 'i' => 7 }, 'fax' => { 'label' => 'B', 'i' => 2 }, 'address1' => { 'label' => 'Adress', 'i' => 4 } } ]; for (sort { $a->{'fax'} cmp $b->{'fax'} } @{$form->{'all_shipto'}}) { print Dumper($_); }
