#@AoH = sort { $a->{Son} <=> $b->{Son} } @AoH;
# Correct.
@AoH = sort { $a->{Son} cmp $b->{Son} } @AoH;

Yes, but you want `cmp` not `<=>`. `cmp` is for ASCIIbetical sorting; `<=>` is for numeric sorting. (And Unicode::Collate is for proper, decent alphabetical sorting.) `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, but you want cmp not <=>. Dammit! My fingertips did it again! I thought one thing and typed another! Peter L. Berghold -- Unix Professional Peter -at- Berghold -dot- Net; AOL IM redcowdawg Yahoo IM: blue_cowdawg	[reply]
