my @sorted =
sort { $a->name cmp $b->name

$b->age <=> $a->age } @employees;

Dad-gummit, I *looked* in the PC, and didn't see this... That syntax
makes perfect sense. It never occurred to me to extended the { sort
$a->{key} cmp $b->{key} } syntax into something broader with logical
operators. You get stuck in a rut with what you see as 90% used
sometimes.

NOW the solution is on the internet... :-)

Thanks!
