Hash sorting alphabetiacly in ruby -


i have following hash.

h = {     "31d2fcd5-aec0-438d-895c-806fd0358c23"=>{"name"=>"q", 'database'=>'mysql'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d12f8c1"=>{"name"=>"qwerty", 'database'=>'h2'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121993"=>{"name"=>"b", 'database'=>'postgresql'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121994"=>{"name"=>"b", 'database'=>'oracle'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121995"=>{"name"=>"apple", 'database'=>'sqlite3'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d521996"=>{"name"=>"a", 'database'=>'mariadb'},     "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d1k1996"=>{"name"=>"a", 'database'=>'mongodb'} } 

after sorting see in following form

h = {      "31d2fcd5-aec0-438d-895c-806fd0358c23"=>{"name"=>"a", 'database'=>'mariadb'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d12f8c1"=>{"name"=>"a", 'database'=>'mongodb'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121993"=>{"name"=>"apple", 'database'=>'sqlite3'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121994"=>{"name"=>"b", 'database'=>'postgresql'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d121995"=>{"name"=>"b", 'database'=>'oracle'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d521996"=>{"name"=>"q", 'database'=>'mysql'},      "69a05dea-d767-44b7-b40c-f76d0d1k1996"=>{"name"=>"qwerty", 'database'=>'h2'} } 

thanks in advance.

short answer: can't. see docs hashes in ruby 1.8.7:

the order in traverse hash either key or value may seem arbitrary, , not in insertion order.

in ruby 1.8.7 hashes not ordered. not guaranteed order matches order in keys inserted (like in ruby 1.9+).

that said: have use different data structure, array example. arrays can sorted first value , keep order.

btw: ruby 1.8.7 outdated more many years (its successor ruby 1.9 released 6 years ago). ruby 1.8.7 missing interesting features, doesn't security updates anymore , many gems dropped support old version. advise update @ least ruby 2.2+
