well.. TIMTOWTDI
I would store this as a nested array in a hash:
my %CLANS;
while(FILE){
chomp;
my($clan, @scores) = split /,/;
$CLANS{$clan} = \@scores;
}
# to sort in order
@clans_in_win_order = sort {
$CLANS{$b}[0] = $CLANS{$a}[0] ## sort by most wins first

I understand how to sort $string1 and $string2 but I have something a
little more complicated (I think at least) and I've never done this
before. This is what my data looks like (flat ascii file)
(clan, wins, losses, points for, points against)
