SPUG: Sorting hash question

[Peter Darley]

Friends,
	I currently have a hash that looks like
		$Item{Children}{[child #]}{other stuff}

	A couple of examples would be:
		$Item{Children}{1}{name}
		$Item{Children}{1}{content}
		$Item{Children}{2}{name}
		$Item{Children}{2}{content}

	I'm getting at the Children of Item using:
		for $SubItem (values %{$$Item{Children}})

	which gives me an unsorted list of items.  I would like to have it sorted
in the order of the keys of the %{$Item{Children}}.  I found lots of info on
how to step through the keys of a hash sorted by value, but not anything on
stepping through the values of a has sorted by key.  Is this easily doable,
or should I do something like:

	for $SubItem (sort {$a<=>$b} keys %{$$Item{Children}})
	{
		$SubItem = $$Item{Children}{$SubItem};
		...
	}

	I would be greatfull for any suggestion! :)
Thanks,
Peter Darley
