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

It seems like that problem is needlessly being complicated by conflating key extraction and sorting. (This was an issue that was discussed on perl6-language about the current sort operator — how do we make it possible to isolate the extraction code from the actual sort order, which should then be possible to request declaratively?)

sub order_of_sorted { my ( @num, @suff ); for( @_ ) { m/ \A (\d+) \. (.*) /x or die "malformed data"; push @num, $1; push @suff, $2; } sort { $num[$a] <=> $num[$b] or $suff[$a] cmp $suff[$b] } 0 .. $#_ +; } for my $outer ( ( values %hash )[ order_of_sorted keys %hash ] ) { for my $inner ( ( values %$outer )[ order_of_sorted keys %$outer ] + ) { # ... } }

If you want to store the data rather than output it, you can transform the nested for-loops to an equivalent chain of maps (but note that that doesn't make it an ST).

I know which version I'd prefer to maintain, even though this is probably slower than your GRT.

Update: the following, which I originally wrote, is obviously wrong:

for my $inner ( ( values %$outer )[ order_of_sorted keys %$inner ] +) { # ^^^^^^^ Correct. ^^^^^^^ Oo +ps.

Makeshifts last the longest.

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.
