Considering that in the end you would have sorted VALUES not the keys, above array variable name is rather misleading.

I disagree - @sorted_keys contains SORTED KEYS, sorted by the values.
But feel free to call it @keys_sorted_by_value if you feel like it.

    Oh! Right you were, and are. Indeed the array name is reasonable and the array does contain sorted keys not the values. I apologise for distrubing the peace.

    I will stand in a corner now for a while ...
