Re: sorting the column of array element

Hi, I am trying to sort the zeroth array element

By this do you mean that your $array[0] is a reference to an array?

If so, you want something like

@sort = sort {$b <=> $a} @{ $array[0] };

Ummmmm..... it seems to me that either your answer, "yes," to the question whether `@array[0]` 'is a reference to an array?' is inaccurate (eg, 'wrong') . ... or else `@array[0]` is something other than the simple content of 'one column of a tab delimited file having three columns' (where the 'simple content' is something sortable -- either numericly or alphabetically -- without further specification of the criteria for sorting). Which is it? Update: Added quoted content in second bullet, for clarity and closing paren for correctness. Duh!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
