I'm very impressed at all the solutions and the speed of the response.

When I first saw that question being posted, I thought a custom sort could
do the work and so I, (yours humble beginner)  decided to try. The
undermentioned was an abandoned unsuccessful work of mine.

@array = qw( 9 11 12 13 14 23 25 26 27 50);
@transformed = sort {
        print "\$a = $a and \$b = $b \n"; #just to see whats going on.
        if (($a + 1) == $b) {
            $a = "$a-";
            #$b=~s/$b//;
            $a<=>$b;
         }
}@array;
print   "@transformed\n";
