( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello Monks,

I need help with a complex (well for me anyway) sort routine. I have a hash that has various elements, and 3 of those elements are the region, country, and city. Right now I am sorting on the region, but I also need to sort on the country next, and city last.

So, for the following data:
APAC India Delhi APAC China Suzhou APAC Australia Sydney APAC Japan Tokyo EMEA SouthAfrica Johannesburg EMEA Russia Moscow APAC China Shanghai EMEA Germany Munich EMEA France Paris EMEA Italy Venice NLAM Argentina BuenosAires2 NLAM USA NYC NLAM Brazil San Paulo NLAM USA Austin EMEA Italy Rome NLAM USA Boston
I need it to be sorted as such:
APAC Australia Sydney APAC China Shanghai APAC China Suzhou APAC India Delhi APAC Japan Tokyo EMEA France Paris EMEA Germany Munich EMEA Italy Rome EMEA Italy Venice EMEA Russia Moscow EMEA SouthAfrica Johannesburg NLAM Argentina BuenosAires2 NLAM Brazil San Paulo NLAM USA Austin NLAM USA Boston NLAM USA NYC
Here is where I am extracting my hash and how I sort based on region
sub print_stats{ my $subinput = $_[0]; for my $site1 (keys %siteInfo){ #Site has to be in correct region next unless ($siteInfo{$site1}{region} eq $subinput); print "$siteInfo{$site1}{region},$siteInfo{$site1}{country},$site1, $siteInfo{$site1}{totalDevices}, ,$siteInfo{$site1}{totalVulns}, $siteInfo{$site1}{totalS5s},"; } } }
Thanks,
Dru

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
