Re: How to sort by the key value of an Array of Hash structure?

Stolen from this Q&A node, you can do a Schwartzian Transformation by doing:

my @sorted = map{ $_->[1] }
      sort { $b->[0] <=> $a->[0] }
      map{ [ $_->{size}, $_ ] } @{$aoh};
print Dumper \@sorted;

Unless the "hashes" are actually tied or overloaded objects with really slow access times, I expect moritz's much simpler `sort { $a->{size} <=> $b->{size} }` will also be faster (but I'm ready to be corrected).	[reply] [d/l]
