Re^2: Sort a hash of hashes by value in template toolkit

Gave up on doing it in template toolkit, solved the issue by having a perl method in the handler that returns a sorted array of arrays which can then be easily looped in the .tt file.

An ugly solution, but it works.

I came across this issue as well. I was passing a hash of hashes to TT and used this method to sort it. Sample Hash: `%Orders = {}; $Orders{1}{NAME} = 'Bill'; $Orders{1}{STATUS} = 'Complete'; $Orders{2}{NAME} = 'John'; $Orders{3}{STATUS} = 'Pending';` [download] Sort the hash by key value (orderid) descending and output data from the nested hashes: `<table> <tr> <th>Order ID</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Status</th> </tr> [% sortedKEYS = Orders.nsort %] [% FOREACH skey IN sortedKEYS %] <tr> <td>[% skey %]</td> <td>[% Orders.$skey.NAME %]</td> <td>[% Orders.$skey.STATUS %]</td> </tr> [% END %] </table>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

%Orders = {};
$Orders{1}{NAME} = 'Bill';
$Orders{1}{STATUS} = 'Complete';
$Orders{2}{NAME} = 'John';
$Orders{3}{STATUS} = 'Pending';

Sort the hash by key value (orderid) descending and output data from the nested hashes:

<table>
   <tr>
      <th>Order ID</th>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Status</th>
   </tr>
[% sortedKEYS = Orders.nsort %]
[% FOREACH skey IN sortedKEYS %]
  <tr>
     <td>[% skey %]</td>
     <td>[% Orders.$skey.NAME %]</td>
     <td>[% Orders.$skey.STATUS %]</td>
  </tr>
[% END %]
</table>
