in reply to Want to sort hashes by values, anyone?

my @sorted_values = sort values %unsorted;

Additionally, your swap function should be written as: sub swap ($$) { @_[0,1] = @_[1,0] } Or, better yet, instead of calling swap, you can do: @sorted[$i, $i+1] = @sorted[$i+1, $i];

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

    I like the
    @sorted[$i, $i+1] = @sorted[$i+1, $i];
    Since most language (in my concern) don't have this kind of thing
