 Erm, the ordering of the hash doesn't gain you anything. Actually
hashes in perl are unsorted by definition, it's explicitly undefined in
which order the keys will be returned.

 If you want to fix the sorting that will have to be at the point where
it's used, not in the hash definition.

 Thanks,
