[Gllug] heres a perl one to get you thinking

[bredroll]

Ok, my small dilema is this.

I want to sort an array by the preciding characters after xth occurance of
tab in each array element.

ie.

this is an array :-)

001\tfish\tcow\tcar\moo
002\tbaloon\tbox\tcat\tzoooom
004\taa\tbb\tcc\tdd

so i now want to sort this list by everything after say the second tab
(\t) in each element, (ie sort the three using 'cow,box,cc' as the sort
data. 

any ideas?
