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

Maybe this little example helps.

#!/usr/bin/perl -l use strict; use warnings; my %hash = ( foo => 1, whatever => { rank => 11 }, you => { rank => 2 }, want => { rank => 7 }, ); my @arr = grep { $_ ne 'foo' } keys %hash; my @sorted = sort { $hash{$a}->{rank} <=> $hash{$b}->{rank} } @arr; print "@arr"; print "@sorted";

Update:

modified test data in code

If your hash values are plain strings, than you just need to do something like:

my @sorted = sort { $hash{$a} cmp $hash{$b} } @arr;

See sort for more information about sort and the ways, how you can influence the sort.

Also see Schwartzian Transform

Update2: replaced <=> with cmp in second example; Thanks to AnomalousMonk and roboticus for pointing me on that.

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.
