3 attempts, the shortest weighing in at 77 characters(!), using japhys sort trick. I'm quite fond of the last two.

my @d=(1089,3,4,0,5,6,7,99,832,1087,831,1088,10000);
print "\nfirst try\n\n";
@ary= boo(@d);
print "@ary";
print "\n\nsecond try\n\n";
@ary=boo2(@d);
print "@ary";
print "\n\nthird try (stringify)\n\n";
$list=boo3(@d);
print $list;
