I changed your hash to h, so no conflict with sort values: my %h = ();
$h {"1"} = [ "some string","other string",3 ] ; $h {"2"} = [ "some string","other string",2 ] ; $h {"3"} = [ "some string","other string",1 ] ; foreach my $MyKey (sort { $a->[1]<=>$b->[1] } map{[$_,$h{$_}[2]]} keys %h) { printf "%-s -> %-s\n", $MyKey->[0], $MyKey->[1]; } Output: 3 -> 1 2 -> 2 1 -> 3 Wags ;) -----Original Message----- From: Michal Weinfurtner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 01:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need help Hi all , I have some data in hash of arrays and i need a print all of entries of that hash sorted by 2-nd index of arrays.
