sorting...
say i have a list like this:
47:15:20
11:4:6
47:15:1
3:22:45
22:4:88
3:6:81
$a<=>$b sorts up to the first semicolon only. I need to sort by the first number, then the second number, then the third.

Probably not the best way, but it works..
Why dont you split the string and assign to a set of associative arrays. Use Key/Value pairing with Key being the common thread for each split list.
If you want to sort by first and then if first matches, sort by second, etc...you can embed the tests
