in reply to Re^2: sort hash after value from hash in hash
in thread sort hash after value from hash in hash

Um, yes. I forgot about the $a,$b gotcha. <nit> Apart from that mistake, your example hash 
$hash = {
  1 => {
    key1 => string1,
    key2 => string2
  }
  2 => {
    key1 => string1,
    key2 => string2
  }
}

is very badly chosen, since the values for each key of the sub-hashes are identical. What do you expect sort to do for you? ,-) </nit>

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

    Sorry for this, by adding 1, 2 to the strings I meant only the position of the value :) The strings can not be the same in this case.
    (I really have to learn to create better examples ;))

      Simply take a real world example, with code that actually runs - not like your pseudocode that produces errors (unquoted strings, missing comma). Then write what you expected as output and what you got instead.

      This way, the monks here can quickly copy and paste your code, try it out and fix it for you :).
