Thanks, definity one of those "duh" things that seems so obvious after you hear the right answer.

But, what if the values of the list are some unique randomly generated user id such as "9322042" and the Labels are supposed to be "Arnold", "Bob", "Clark", etc. How does one get the labels that appear in the menu to be alphabetical even thought the values are not similarly ordered.

Sort the keys by comparing the values: `my @values = sort { $labels{$a} cmp $labels{$b} } keys %labels;`	[reply] [d/l]
