Note: Using the first (and only) element of values avoids the problem with not knowing the name of the key.
...but that only applies to the given sample data because the intermediate-level hash only contains a single key/value pair. If there are multiple keys/values in those hashes, you're screwed because values will return the values in a random order. (But the order is stable within a single run of the program, so long as the hash isn't modified, so at least it shouldn't throw sort into an infinite loop. You'll just potentially get results sorted on the wrong sub-hash.)

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).
