I'm stumped on how to sort an array based on a hash refrences's key in
each element of my array.
this is dumbed down code of what I have:
my @array;
while(my $row = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref){
my %hash = (id => $row->[0], name => $row->[1]);
push(@array, \%hash);
}
after the while loop, I'm trying to build a new version of @array,
sorted by the 'name' key.
Anyone feel like throwing example code my way?
my @sorted = sort { $a->{ name } cmp $b->{ name } } @array;
