map { anchor( textify($_), { href => $_ } ) } grep { /^[A-Z].+/ && -f $_ } sort { article_sort($a, $b) }
If possible, I would put the grep before the sort so that you probably have fewer items to sort which takes less time. (more efficient):
map { anchor( textify($_), { href => $_ } ) } sort { article_sort($a, $b) } grep { /^[A-Z].+/ && -f $_ }
