Re: Sorting problem with Orcish Manuever

japhy got it nailed, just before I did. But my solution is different: replace

                return  ($va->[0] <=> $vb->[0])
                        or ($va->[1] cmp $vb->[1]);
[download]

with

                return  ($va->[0] <=> $vb->[0])
                        || ($va->[1] cmp $vb->[1]);
[download]

and it works.

p.s. Please don't make us hunt around for the question so much. When I finally found exercise 2 in that section, it simply referred me to another exercise in a different section! How hard is quoting a question of 2 lines?

bart: Thanks for the feedback. I'll give your version a try too. Regarding your P.S., sorry about that, my bad. I actually tried to link to it directly using syntax like `[id://128722#the orcish manuever\|Orcish Manuever]`, but it didn't work, and I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'll try to remember to add context in the future. Drat! And here I was patting myself on the back for actually reading the How (Not) To Ask A Question page (and others)... 8^P --roboticus	[reply] [d/l]

Just an FYI: To link to an anchor like you intended, use this syntax: `[link://?node=128722#the%20orcish%20maneuver\|The Orcish Maneuver]` The above produces: The Orcish Maneuver :-) HTH, planetscape	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for the hint--I've updated the node and included the link for posterity! 8^) (Funny, though, how I automagically read the %20 as ' ', so when I entered the link in the top node, it kept giving me 404s. So then I read & reread What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? and found an alternative: `[href://?node_id=128722#the orcish maneuver\|blah blah blah]`. Then, in the middle of one of my "previews" of this node, I finally noticed the %20 characters, and had another D'oh moment...) --roboticus	[reply] [d/l]
