I think getting it into an array is not the problem, you did the right thing by assigning the Seq into @x. The sort characteristic that Liz used, { m/ \d+ $/ }, doesn't do the right thing (at least for me). I cannot tell you why it is an apparent no-op, though. Converting the extracted Match to an Int does work: $ raku -e 'my @x = <a5 a2 a123 a133 a1 a22>.sort: { +m/ \d+ $/ }; dd @x' Array @x = ["a1", "a2", "a5", "a22", "a123", "a133"] Regards, Tobias -- "There's an old saying: Don't change anything... ever!" -- Mr. Monk
