This worked for me, i hope it models your prob:

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

my $loh_ref = [
    { blah => 'foo'},
    { blah => 'bar'},
    { blah => 'baz'},
];

my @bar = sort{ $a->{blah} cmp $b->{blah} } @$loh_ref;

print Dumper @bar;

I wonder why you are using hashes, especially if they have the same key . . . but as for pseudo-hashes, they are only effective if you use the fields module.
