Re: How do you sort a hash of array refs?

Try this:

my @sorted = sort { $hash{SIZE}[$a] <=> $hash{SIZE}[$b] } 0..$#{$hash{
+SIZE}};

$hash{$_} = [ @{$hash{$_}}[@sorted] ] for keys %hash;

The original author may want to have a look at The indirect Sort. This is the technique that runrig demonstrated. The page linked above shows the same technique with a simpler example and a little more explanation.	[reply]

Thanks runrig. I see what you're doing now. I tested it on my system and it's going to work.	[reply]
