Multi Level Sorting Algorithm in Perl

Asked by dyoung520 in Perl Programming Language, Miscellaneous Programming, Algorithms

Tags: Perl

Given a hash : %detailModel

with keys: $model = "Alpha Name of Automobile"

Holds Values as Pipe Delimited (E.G): PICKUP 1/2T|999999|1999|DODGE|2003|99

So Thats: Make|Account|Year|Make|TaxYear|Seq

I want to sort this data by model, make, year, seq

I am lost on how I should go about this.

When I initially loaded the hash if there were multiple occurrences of the same model I just tacked on a decimal to the word (e.g. pickup 1/2.1).  This actually worked and got me around that so I could use a hash as the sorting function.  However if I reload a hash with a new key after sorting it once I will lose the sort from the first sort... hope that made sense.

I figure somebody will get kinda what I talking about and have at least some pseudo code that will shed some light on this.

I am a beginner with Perl so please add some comments/explanation to any code.

Thanks in Advance!
