Hey, use the manual Luke!:) http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Directives.html <http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Directives.html> Search for sort. <% FOREACH ID IN Jobs.keys.sort %> <% FOREACH ID IN Jobs.keys.nsort %> sorted alphabetically ( sort ) or numerically ( nsort ) Best regards, Attila

I have this table data that I load into a template as follows.
$q = "SELECT ID, NAME FROM jobs ORDER BY NAME"; $sth = $dbh->prepare($q); $sth->execute(); my $Jobs_ref = $sth->fetchall_hashref('ID');
template 'sport_add.tt <http://sport_add.tt/>', {
'Jobs' => $Jobs_ref, 'Testing' => "This is text to test to make sure this will come through", # to test, use this like <% Testing %> on your template page
}, {};
To display it in the template as a drop-down select I do:
<select class="selectpicker" name="jobselect" id="jobselect" style="width: 500px;"> <% FOREACH ID IN Jobs.keys %> <option value="<% Jobs.$ID.ID <http://id.id/> %>"><% Jobs.$ID.NAME <http://id.name/> %></option> <% END %>
And it works great. Except for one thing, the list is not in order by name. I have read more than a few posts about how once you save a query as a hashref that the order is lost. Most of those posts suggested fetching as a arrayref instead. However, I have no idea how to do that and then display it in a select like the above code does. So I wanted to see if somebody perhaps knows of a not too complicated of a solution to get the select list into alphabetical order by name.
