Here a proof of concept: (stealing data from AppleFritter's example)

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature qw/say/;
use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/;


my %data = (
    "key0.1" => [
        {
            "key1.1" => 3.3,
            "key1.2" => 17.8,
            "key1.3" => -2.4,
        },
        {
            "key1.4" => 5.1,
            "key1.5" => 13,
        },
        {
            "key1.6" => -69,
            "key1.7" => 127,
            "key1.8" => 2.718,
            "key1.9" => 3.3,
        },
    ],
    "key0.2" => [
        {
            "key1.10" => 3.3,
            "key1.11" => 2.5,
        },
        {
            "key1.12" => -33,
        },
    ],
);

my %flat = ();

while (my ($k0,$v0) = each %data) {
    my $k1=-1;
    for my $v1 (@$v0) {
        $k1++;
        while (my ($k2,$v2) = each %$v1) {
            $flat{$k0,$k1,$k2} = $v2;
        }
    }
}

my @sorted_keys = sort { $flat{$a} <=> $flat{$b} } keys %flat;

for my $k (@sorted_keys) {
    my $v = $flat{$k};
    say "$v \t<= \t", join ",  ", split ( $; , $k );
}

Output:

-69     <=     key0.1,  2,  key1.6
-33     <=     key0.2,  1,  key1.12
-2.4     <=     key0.1,  0,  key1.3
2.5     <=     key0.2,  0,  key1.11
2.718     <=     key0.1,  2,  key1.8
3.3     <=     key0.1,  0,  key1.1
3.3     <=     key0.1,  2,  key1.9
3.3     <=     key0.2,  0,  key1.10
5.1     <=     key0.1,  1,  key1.4
13     <=     key0.1,  1,  key1.5
17.8     <=     key0.1,  0,  key1.2
127     <=     key0.1,  2,  key1.7

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
