Well... then you have to decide if you want to sort by the minimum time in lines, the maximum time in lines, or the average time in lines... cuz you can't just sort by a bunch of values...

Wait.. are you trying to sort all of the lines into a big mix of lines? so that individual lines from all the logs come out in order? If that is the case then you can't do it with a simple sort the way you have your hash of hashes set up. What you should do in that case is build a composite key... $log.$line or something similar, so then you would do... 

foreach (sort $logdata->{$a}{time} cmp $logdata->{$b}{time}) {

See what I'm saying... because otherwise you can only sort to a granularity of the log level, or you can sort the lines in a log, but not both, without a lot more work...
