Siccula has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Perl monks, I have a problem. I a reading data from a file using a perl one-liner like so.

perl -MList::Util=max -F'\n' -0777naE'$w=max map length,@F;say pack"(A +$w)9 A*",splice @F,0,10 while @F;' Data.txt

This prints data from the file in columns, but now I need to find a way to sort a certain column(lets say alphabetically). I am knew to perl, and I am not sure where to begin. Is there a way to do this using a "one-liner", if not may you please help me develop a way to do this. Thank you very much!
