I think an insertion sort using splice might work

Homework Spoiler -
use Modern::Perl; use Smart::Comments; my %jetsons = ( 7 => 'Judy', 10 => 'Jane', 11 => 'George', 2 => 'Elroy', 100=> 'Rosey', 1 => 'Astro', 19 => 'Mr. Spacely', 22 => 'Mr. Cogswell'); my @result = (); for my $key ( keys %jetsons ){ my $x = 0; CHECKLIST: for my $value ( @result ){ if( $value > $key ){ last CHECKLIST; }else{ $x++; } } splice( @result, $x, 0, $key ); } ### @result

Returns

### @result: [ ### 1, ### 2, ### 7, ### 10, ### 11, ### 19, ### 22, ### 100 ### ]
