I know little about sorting in PERL: sub SortByIPoccurance { $IPaddr{$a} <=> $IPaddr{$b}; } @top_hosts = reverse sort SortByIPoccurance (keys %IPaddr); print "Frequently connecting hosts (# of http/s hits):\n"; print "----------------------------------------------------------- \n"; foreach $hosts (@top_hosts) { printf("%4d %s\n", $IPaddr{$hosts}, $hosts); } print "\n\n";
But what I want to do now is reverse sort column 1 then sort the hostnames/IPs in column 2. I have the correct Solaris 9 command. I tried to wrap my brain around it, but I think Im thinking too much about it.

Im not sure if there are slight differences in the sorting algorithms. Thanks Birl Please do not CC me responses to my own posts.
