Sort Keys of Hash Printed via dump
Is there any variable that I can set that would tell dump to sort the
keys of a hash alphabetically (Like Data::Dumper)?

Not as far as I can see from the docs.

But, then again, it's a trivial thing to write your own sub that does
this. A completely untested example to simulate the default behavior :-

[!
use Data::Dumper;
!]
[$ sub sorted_dump $]
<pre>
[+ do { local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys=1; Dumper( @_ ); } +]
</pre>
[$ endsub $]

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi,

Since [$ dump $] uses data::dumper, it should be enougth to set

$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys=1;

But I haven't tested it
