I'm trying to do a sort where one array gets sorted by two other arrays, one
after another.
I have:
@fileArray = @fileArray[sort { $temp1[$a] <=> $temp1[$b] } 0..$#temp1];
This sorts @fileArray by the values in @temp1.
If I now do:
@fileArray = @fileArray[sort { $temp2[$a] <=> $temp2[$b] } 0..$#temp2];
I have sorted @fileArray by @temp2 yet I lose my first sort results
defeating the purpose.
I'm guesssing I have to compound the sorts but I'm not sure where the "or"
goes with this notation?
Basically looking for:
Location IQ
---------------------
Astoria 10
Astoria 40
Astoria 100
Portland 10
Portland 40
Portland 100
@temp1 being locations, @temp2 being ages.
Any Input? - Aaron Kilbey
