When I see "CSV", I think DBD::CSV. Sorting? That's just ORDER BY. At that point, it's pretty much done.
Mind you, I wouldn't normally sort a CSV file (at least on purpose, I've got many CSV files that are sorted naturally by date because they're inserted that way). I'd leave it as-is, and when I go to use it, I'd again just SELECT my,col,names FROM TABLE ORDER BY col - because next time I might want to ORDER BY names, and really, why waste time sorting it on disk when I'm going to be explicit each time anyway? (Ok, there may be performance reasons, but not usually an issue.)
No reason to bring up Excel :-)

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).
