This is the README file for Tie::SortHash.
Tie::SortHash - Perl module to keep hashes in a sorted order
SYNOPSIS ( quickie )
  use Tie::SortHash;
  my %ascii     =  ( n => ord 'n', a => ord 'a', z => ord 'z' );
  my $sortblock = q( $hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b} );
  tie %ascii, 'Tie::SortHash', \%ascii, $sortblock;
  print "$_ => $ascii{$_}\n" foreach keys %ascii;
 This module ensures that the output will _always_ be:
  a => 97
  n => 110
  z => 122
