There is another field that identifies which array is currently being looked at, and hence can indicate the position of the date column.

Which column is that? I'm going to take a guess it's src1/src2. Also, I'm assuming string comparisons for the dates are ok, which should hold true if all the dates are formatted as you showed. I hope this is what you're looking for?

<update> I should have mentioned right off the bat that this is not the most efficient solution, and a Schwartzian transform, like LanX said and tybalt89 showed, helps in that regard. </update>

use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dump; my $ary1 = [ [ 1,1,1,1,1,'2018-03-01', 'src1', 1,1,1,1 ], [ 1,1,1,1,1,'2018-02-15', 'src1', 1,1,1,1 ], [ 1,1,1,1,1,'2018-04-11', 'src1', 1,1,1,1 ], [ 1,1,1,1,1,'2018-03-11', 'src1', 1,1,1,1 ], ]; my $ary2 = [ [ 2,2,2,2,'2018-03-02', 2, 'src2', 2,2,2,2 ], [ 2,2,2,2,'2018-01-25', 2, 'src2', 2,2,2,2 ], [ 2,2,2,2,'2018-04-22', 2, 'src2', 2,2,2,2 ], [ 2,2,2,2,'2018-03-22', 2, 'src2', 2,2,2,2 ], ]; my @sorted = sort { $$a[$$a[6] eq 'src1' ?5:4] cmp $$b[$$b[6] eq 'src1' ?5:4] } (@$ary1, @$ary2); dd @sorted; __END__ ( [2, 2, 2, 2, "2018-01-25", 2, "src2", 2, 2, 2, 2], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, "2018-02-15", "src1", 1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, "2018-03-01", "src1", 1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2, 2, "2018-03-02", 2, "src2", 2, 2, 2, 2], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, "2018-03-11", "src1", 1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2, 2, "2018-03-22", 2, "src2", 2, 2, 2, 2], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, "2018-04-11", "src1", 1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2, 2, "2018-04-22", 2, "src2", 2, 2, 2, 2], )

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
