Re: Sorting Question

in reply to Sorting Question

I don't see any sorting going on in this code. What exactly are you trying to sort? If you are trying to sort @list, try this:

@list = sort({$a cmp $b} @list);

May the Force be with you

Which is just the same as `@list = sort @list` Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply] [d/l]

although you may want to actually sort alphabetically (ie case-insensitive) instead of ASCIIbetically: `@list = sort { lc $a cmp lc $b } @list;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Which is why it's often a good idea to use locale when sorting. Then you don't have to contort yourself so much to get good sorting results. -- Damon Allen Davison http://www.allolex.net	[reply]
