note grep I'm not quite sure what your doing with all that code, there seem to be quite a few mistakes. Which makes it hard for me to follow. <p> But as to your main point of the sort not working: You're sending in the values but treating them like keys and trying to do a lookup. <br> <code>@reportnL = sort { $total_o{$a} <=> $total_o{$b} } values (%total_o{$hero});</code> <p> Change it to<br> <code>@reportnL = sort { $total_o{$a} <=> $total_o{$b} } keys %total_o ;</code> <p> UPDATE: Just noticed his was my 500th post. <!-- Node text goes above.
