How do you want to sort the list? (Alphanumerically,
numerically, etc.) Are you asking to sort each sub array or
are you asking to sort the values of all the arrays?
Do you want to print the sorted list? Or perhaps manipulate
the sorted list? Do you want to manipulate the original array
based on the sorted list?
Are all the values unique? What do we do with duplicate
values? What do we do with undefined values?
Why is the list in an Array of Arrays (AoA)? Are you
maintaining someone else's code and this is what you are stuck
with or would a more appropriate data structure do what you
want?

PS: In perl an Array of Arrays is the same thing as a
Multi-dimensional Array.
