in thread ordering array of sentences

As usual in functional programming, read from right to left (or bottom to top):

The map changes the sentences to arrays of arrays. Each such an array has two elements: the word to sort on and the original sentence.

sort just sorts the arrays according to their first element, i.e. the sort word.

map transforms the arrays back to sentences.

    I got it. Thank you!

    In a very ugly Perl, I translated it so:

    my @sentences1 = map { /(\w+)\s+searching/; [$1, $_] } @sentences +; my @sentences2 = sort { $a->[0] cmp $b->[0] } @sentences1; my @sentences3 = map {$_->[1]} @sentences2; foreach (@sentences3) { print $_; }

    ...just to lear Perl

    What if my @sentences has a more complicated structure? I get @sentences from querying a Sqlite database with the following:

    $sentences = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("SELECT ID, sentence FROM texts +WHERE sentence REGEXP '(?i:$query)'");

    As one can see, the result is made of two elements (ID and sentence). How can I read/manipulate in the code provided by choroba only the second element "sentence", preserving at the end of the sorting operation the same structure ID/sentence?

      1. use ORDER BY in SQL to have the data delivered to perl in the expected order
      2. Schwartzian transform
