If you want the sort order to appear in "numeric order of the names", you can define a special sort order. Here I use a hash table to give the "rules" to sort.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @array = qw(one two three four five six seven eight nine ten); print "The original array contains -\n @array \n"; my @sorted = sort @array; print "The sorted array contains:\n @sorted \n"; my %order =( one => 1, two => 2, three => 3, four => 4, five => 5, six => 6, seven => 7, eight => 8, nine => 9, ten => 10); @sorted = sort{ $order{$a} <=> $order{$b}} @sorted; print "Now The sorted array contains:\n @sorted \n"; __END__ The original array contains - one two three four five six seven eight nine ten The sorted array contains: eight five four nine one seven six ten three two Now The sorted array contains: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

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.
