<p>Not to sound cliche or anything, but you must first understand the cause of the problem; then the solution will become obvious. The reason the popup ordering isn't in order is because it is gotten through <code>keys %some_hash</code> -- which, as we know, produces said keys in no (easily) predictable or useful order. While it is possible that one could attempt to re-sort the list that it returns into some useful order, the current date format looks to make that rather hard.</p>
<p>Given that, what we really want is to keep track of the keys of the hash as we add them, in some structure which preserves order -- say, like an array or something..</p>
<p>Thus, we do is have an <code>@dates</code> array (declared next to where we define <code>%quotas</code>, say), and push <code>$period</code> onto the end of <code>@dates</code> as we go though loading the data. Later on, we can use <code>@dates</code> instead of <code>keys %quotas</code> if the ordering matters.</p>
<p>I've intentionally not provided much explicit code here. Consider it an "excercise left to the reader." ;></p>
