To expand on that, the "<=>" operator is for numeric comparisons and "cmp" are for string comparisons... make sure you use the right one. This may also work for what you need... @items = qw(a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z); @sortedItems = reverse( sort(@items) ); Rob -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 2:30 PM To: 'Barry Jones'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Reverse sort? You can do it like this: @items = qw(a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z); @sortedItems = sort{$b <=> $a}@items; #reverse the sort print "@sortedItems"; When you use the <=> operator, you can specify the direction by where you put the $a and $b variables. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reverse sort?
