Hello all,
I can't find anything in the doc about whether Perl's sort
function maintaining the order in equivalent subsequences. Suppose I have an
array of hashrefs that looks like this:
{name => 'a', status => 0}, {name => 'b', status
=> 1}, {name => 'c', status => 1}, {name => 'd', status =>
0}
and I sort { $a->{'status'} <=> $b->{'status'}
}
Should I expect the result (order of the names) to
always be ('a', 'd', 'b', 'c'), or could it be, for example, ('d', 'a', 'b',
'c') (i.e., could two entries with the same status value change relative
order)?
