   $myhash{$a}[1] <=> $myhash{$b}[1]
|| $myhash{$a}[0] <=> $myhash{$b}[0]

True. I'm still getting used to da spaceship. :) One question, how does it compare efficiency-wise to if-elseif chains?	[reply]

Ummm... in my case, since popularity is sorted in descending order and history needs to be sorted in ascending order, shouldn't it be: `$myhash{$b}[1] <=> $myhash{$a}[1] \|\| $myhash{$a}[0] <=> $myhash{$b}[0]` [download] ? In any event, thanks for suggesting the improvement. In my long-winded if-elsif chained version, I had one of the >'s reversed, leading to a very dirty bug.	[reply] [d/l]
