Hi,

I'm trying to sort an array, using "paid" listings first, and then "distance"... Here is what I've got to sort them by the distance:

my @loop_sorted = sort { $a->{Distance} <=> $b->{Distance} } @test;

An example of the @loop value would be:

my @test;
push @test, { distance => "0.12", name => "Test1", isPaidLink => 0 };
push @test, { distance => "1.2", name => "Test1", isPaidLink => 1 };
push @test, { distance => "4", name => "Test1", isPaidLink => 1 };
push @test, { distance => "9.2", name => "Test1", isPaidLink => 0 };
push @test, { distance => "14", name => "Test1", isPaidLink => 1 };
my @loop_sorted = sort { $a->{Distance} <=> $b->{Distance} } @test;

Basically I need to sort them using : isPaidLink (1 first, then 0 after) ... and then numberically via the "distance" field)

I'm guessing this is possible, but I've never done it before so any pointers would be much appreciated :)

TIA

Andy
