Hi,

here is my perl script.This script creates an array and is sorting it using the in-built sort function in perl.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
    my number=6;
    my @num_arr=(1,2,3,4,5);
    my @array=(23,"$number","Hello",2.345,@num_arr);

    #printing the array
    print "@array\n";

   #sorting the array
   my @sorted    = sort @array;
   print "Sorted : @sorted\n";

What is "differently"? It appears expected for me.

From the sort documentation:

It treats everything as string and sorts in ASCII order. So, back to the question, what do you expect to see here?

If in case you want the array sorted numerically, write:

my @sorted    = sort { $a <=> $b } @array;
