in thread Getting the order of an array

I guess it depends upon whether you feel the intermediate ordering or the final ordering specified is the crux of what the OP is trying to achieve?

use strict; my @vector = qw( 27 32 46 5 102 76 ); my @order = sort{ $vector[ $a ] <=> $vector[ $b ] } 0 .. $#vector; my $i = 1; my @order_it; foreach (@order) { $order_it[$_] = $i++; } print join(' ',@order_it),"\n"; print "@vector[ @order_it ]\n"; __END__ P:\test>junk 2 3 4 1 6 5 Use of uninitialized value in join or string at P:\test\junk.pl line 1 +1. 46 5 102 32 76

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
