SPUG: Another stupid question, hash sorting

[Jeremy Kahn]

Don't forget that you can use the || and <=> and cmp operators to
shorthand a lot of this:

  # untested [snipped from Jonathan's code]

  my @a = ({Score => 5, Name => 'ann'},
  	   {Score => 5, Name => 'the other ann'},
 	   {Score => 2, Name => 'lars'});

  # custom sort provided in block
  my @sorted =
    sort { $a->{Score} <=> $b->{Score}
                 ||
              $a->{Name} cmp $b->{Name} }  @a;

This makes the most sense usually when you're doing a simple bi-level
sort, but it can be chained if you need to.
