Maybe one of the higher gurus might know of something, but if the data can be interweaved(ie, the key can be 1, 2, 3 and ab, dc, ed), then without looking at the data first or keeping some kind of counter, it would be from my perspective rough to do.

I would like to know if there is a block equivalent to { $a <=> $b } AND { $a cmp $b } at the same time. If I use the cmp style, my numbers get sort asciibetically and if I use the <=> I can use characters. Since the sort is inside of a subroutine, I need to be able to use both types of data.
