Mornin' Monks !! I come to seek wisdom. I've tried a few different ways to sort a hash table according to the keys in the hash. What I mean specifically is this, If I enter the Keys of my hash like so, they should print out like so:

my %newHoA   = (   
       "Sports"    =>  ["Soccer","UltimateFrisbee","Basketball"],
       "Books"     =>  ["Cannery Row", "Animal Farm", "East of Eden"],
       "Places"    =>  ["BigSur","Zion", "CrateLake"] );

foreach my $keyHoA (<sort goes here> keys %newHoA) {
       
 print "The key is: $keyHoA" . " And one value is: $newHoA{$req}[0]" .
+ "\n";

}

So the output should be something like:

The key is: Sports And the value is: Soccer
The key is: Books And the value is: Cannery Row
The key is: Places And the value is: BigSur

Well, I hope some monk out there has the wisdom I seek. Thanks.

UPDATE:
Thank you all for the suggestions. Its helpful to get different perspectives on a single problem.
