Shouldn't that be "values %hash" for sorting the values (see below),
also be aware that a hash has no order like an array so you just have to
do what you want while in the foreach loop (or stick them into an
array).
my %hash;
foreach(sort {$hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} } values %hash) {
....
}

Hello Pat,
You can do it like so:
my %hash;
foreach(sort {$hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} } keys %hash) {
....
}
