Why, oh why would you want to do numeric sorting without the numeric comparison operator? Interview question? Failure of communication? XY Problem? In any event, maybe something like this:

>perl -wMstrict -le "my %jetsons = ( 7 => 'Judy', 10 => 'Jane', 11 => 'George', 2 => 'Elroy', 100=> 'Rosey', 1 => 'Astro', 19 => 'Mr. Spacely', 22 => 'Mr. Cogswell' ); ;; my @sorted = sort non_spaceship keys %jetsons; print qq{@sorted}; ;; sub non_spaceship { return $a < $b ? -1 : $a > $b ? 1 : 0 } " 1 2 7 10 11 19 22 100

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.
