There is the `sort` command. `my @unsorted = sort @sorted;` [download] and its quite large If the left-hand size and right-hand side of `sort` is the same array, I heard the sort is done in-place. `@array = sort @array;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Welcome to the Monastery. But, please, SEARCH before reposting elementary questions 26 Jun 2001; numerous others will be found if one adds "sort" to a search for "alphanumeric"). That leaves those with answers more time to assist with not_quite_so_elementary questions.	[reply]

You're right, its elementary. I'd forgot sort() existed. And i should have read the faq. I'm constantly amazed by my own laziness and stupidity :) thanks though, my question has been answered !	[reply]

You can list your simple knowledge about Perl. It would take a few minutes initially, but you would be very productive comparatively. You will be amazed by your productivity. Alphanumerical sorting actually puts numbers first and alphabetic characters latter. --Artist	[reply] [d/l]
