Subject: Sorting an array of hashes
Does anyone have any clever ideas for sorting an array of hashes based on
a key such as an ID number?
Example:
@AoH = (
{ ID => 10101, UserID => 1041, Status => 2 },
{ ID => 10541, UserID => 1211, Status => 1 },
{ ID => 10111, UserID => 1211, Status => 2 },
{ ID => 10721, UserID => 1198, Status => 1 }
);
