Not easily via perl. &nbsp;It may be a feature of whatever text editor to use, but I doubt it (I don't recall this feature in either Notepad++ or Textmate).<br />

The best recommendation I can come up with is to move the subroutines into a library and sort them as you go. &nbsp;Not ideal, I know, but better than just leaving them be the way they are now.

Do you mean in editor?<br />
What IDE/Editor are you using?<br />
<br />
The whole sub or just its prototypes. &nbsp;Sorting just the prototypes would be extremely easy using vi.<br />

I will go for Notepad++ 's Function List addin, thanks :)

I have plenty of sub routines defined in my perl script, they are all in random order. I want them sorted alphabetically. Is there any automatic way to get this done?

Sortign sub routines or functions in source code or scripts

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

An algorithm is a self-contained step-by-step set of operations to be performed. Algorithms exist that perform calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.
