Hi,

I have a hash with keys of the format

sar0011_4
sar0203_3
sar0050_5
sar2001_1
sar0002_9

And I would like to generate a list ordered by the \d\d\d\d bit in the
middle. I have this from the perl cookbook

my @keys = sort {criterion()} keys(%gene_pool);

but I don't really know how to approach the criterion() function

Use substring to access the parts of the key you want to sort on.


This is also a FAQ, I think.
