Thanks for pointing to Sort::Key , seems it covers all use cases of the Schwartzian transform with a short syntax. :) The documentation could be simpler tho, by deconstructing the naming convention. `[\|r][\|n\|i\|u]keysort[_inplace] @array` (Like this the doc seem even to be not logical/ wrong in one case) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]

For an even more general sort, see the function 'sort_by' in List::UtilsBy. Bill	[reply]

No, no!!! Sort::Key family of modules is far more general and flexible than `List::UtilsBy::sort_by`!	[reply] [d/l]
