in reply to Re: sorting a list of hashes on an element/attribute of the hash
in thread sorting a list of hashes on an element/attribute of the hash

Well, I am currently working on Sort::Key::Radix that uses a Radix Sort as the sorting algorithm and has identical usage to Sort::Key.

When sorting large data sets and for some kinds of data, as for instance small numbers (as shown on the OP), it can be much faster than Sort::Key.

use Sort::Key::Radix qw(ukeysort); my @by_order = ukeysort { $_->{order} } @data;

...though I am still getting some FAIL reports from the CPAN testers.
