If I read your question right (correct me if I'm wrong, it's a small data sample) you are asking how to sort the results by height, ascending.

If so, it makes the most sense to do it in SQL, ie SELECT Name, Age, Height FROM table ORDER BY Height ASC. Then you could step through it row by row, regardless of the size of the dataset returned.

If it must be sorted in perl, you'll need to either use one of the "fetchall*" methods or loop through all rows to store the full result set before sorting.

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.


No such thing as a small change
