I'm trying to sort data coming from file. 1st file has
words that are in specific order like this: (not alphabetic)

GAVSTE
GAVARC
GAVADA
GAVIMM
GAVSP.
add so on...

It is "order quide" for sorting

2nd file in flatfile (delimiter is "|"):

GAVARC 10.3. Tahkoluoto 1m
SOMMOL 10.3. Tahkoluoto 7m
GAVSTE 7.4. Preiviiki 1p
GAVARC 7.4. Preiviiki 2p
SOMMOL 16.3. Kallo 6m

Printig should look like this:
GAVSTE 7.4. Preiviiki 1p
GAVARC 10.3. Tahkoluoto 7m
GAVARC 7.4. Preiviiki 1p
SOMMOL 10.3. Tahkoluoto 7m
SOMMOL 16.3. Kallo 6m
Is this possible at all?

PH
ps. Hope it's readable now

• 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.
