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', {
'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 %>"><% Jobs.$
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.
Thanks
