Subject: Sorting an array of hashes
I want to sort an AoH. Not each hash by its keys, but the array by the
value of one of the keys in each hash.
I know how to sort a simple array.
I know how to sort a hash by the keys.
Could someone kindly point me to the documentation on sorting arrays of
hashes?
Thank you!
Chris.
Hope this gives you some ideas...
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
@AoH=({office=>C,employees=>500},{office=>A, employees=>30});
$ndx=0;
foreach (@AoH){
print "$_->{office}, $ndx \n";
$IofH{$_->{office}} = $ndx++;
}
foreach (sort keys %IofH){
print "$_, $IofH{$_}\n";
%nH = %{$AoH[$IofH{$_}]};
print "Office $_ has employees $nH{employees}\n";
}
jwm
