Sorting an array of hashes by 2 values

[Paul Tomlinson]

Hello, I have an array of variable size which contains a hash with three
keys: count, name, description. I have a call to sort which sorts this
array by count, but I also want this call to sort by name within count.

This is my call:

@Stats = sort {$b->{Program}{Count} <=> $a->{Program}{Count}} @Stats;

which like I say sorts by count (descending), can anyone help me in sorting
by name within count please.

Paul.

Thanks Bernard that kinda worked, however in the sort capital "X" comes
BEFORE lowercase "a" which is not as I desire, is there anyway to get around
this perculiarity? and have it listed as "A" ... "a" ... "B" ... "b" ....
"X" ... "x"

Your thoughts?

@Stats = sort {$b->{Program}{Count} <=> $a->{Program}{Count} ||
uc($a->{Program}{Name}) cmp uc($b->{Program}{Name}) ||
$a->{Program}{Name} cmp $b->{Program}{Name}} @Stats;
