Hi, Michael.
You can find the answer to this question in 'perldoc', under the FAQ
section. The command to run would be 'perldoc -q 'sort a hash''.
The first section is reprinted below, hope this helps.

How do I sort a hash (optionally by value instead of key)?
Internally, hashes are stored in a way that prevents you
from imposing an order on key-value pairs. Instead, you
have to sort a list of the keys or values:
@keys = sort keys %hash; # sorted by key

As to luck, there's the old miners' proverb: Gold is where you find it.
