I believe you can sort an array like so:

sort @my_array;

That should be:

@my_array = sort @my_array;


I need to sort a string though.

I have $a_string that contains:

4565 line1
2345 line2
500 line3
etc.

Obviously \n is at end of every line in the string.  I need it sorted.
  How would I approach this?

$a_string = join '', sort $a_string =~ /.*\n/g;
