<div dir="ltr">I have a hash that looks like this:<div><br></div><div><div>{"ami-c3c73c7f"=>"tn-example 1980-09-12T17:53:25Z",</div><div> "ami-600925fe"=>"sns-example 1983-01-05T16:21:08Z",</div>
<div> "ami-131f1007"=>"dk-example 2005-01-27T23:03:01Z",</div><div> "ami-98d4ddef"=>"tn-example 2002-10-27T11:52:26Z",</div><div> "ami-fe6af742"=>"sns-example 1998-11-22T09:54:51Z",</div>

<div> "ami-fcd2e7ac"=>"dk-example 2007-09-02T18:34:05Z"}</div><div><br></div><div>I want to filter this hash by value and return them in sorted date order. The implementation I have just seems ugly:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>catalogue.select {|id, name| name.match /sns-example/ }.sort { |id, name| name[1] <=> id[1] }</div><div>=> [["ami-a65e21cc", "sns-example 2011-10-03T11:15:49Z"],</div>
<div> ["ami-9a401c41", "sns-example 1983-09-22T15:26:00Z"],</div><div> ["ami-9f9ae4d8", "sns-example 1971-03-06T03:58:52Z"]]</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't like the way sort takes my hash and makes it into an array of tuples... and I'd really like it to return an array of single key/value hashes... </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, is there a more elegant way to perform the filter/search?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>S.</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Stephen Nelson-Smith<br>Technical Director<br>
