Ranking Items... Help!
Okay, so I have this file and each lines contains variables separated by | :
open(DATA, "$data_path\\$FORM{'id'}\\affiliates.txt");
if ($flock eq "y") {
flock DATA, 2;
}
@data = <DATA>;
chomp @data;
close(DATA);
foreach $line (@data) {
($name, $variable1, $variable2, $date) = split(/\|/, $line);$variable1 is a number. My question is how do I sort the items from greatest to least based on $variable1?? Thanks in advance!

I'm not a Perl expert but maybe this link can give you some ideas: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2000/12/begperl4.html#sorting
