I think this will do what you are looking for...
use strict;
my @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 }
);
for(sort { $a->{ID} <=> $b->{ID} } @AoH) {
print $_->{ID}."\n";
}
