Subject: sorting a hash
Hi,
I have a reference to a hash of hashes, something like:
[snip]
^^^^I want to sort the persons with the codes 'a', 'b', and 'c' by their name,
and print something like:
"a has the name z and has 14 years". ... then the next person in order...
foreach my $key (sort (keys %$ref)){ print "$key => $ref->{$key}{name} is $ref->{$key}{age}\n"; }
Unless I'm in error, the requirement was to sort the results in order by name, not by the key :-)
