Unable to sort a 2D array in powershell

Question

I'm getting some unique results with this little guy

clear
$Datas = @{}
$Datas["Database1"] = "440"
$Datas["Database2"] = "140"
$Datas["Database3"] = "210"
$Datas | sort value

The Results are:

Name                           Value                                                                                                                                                         
----                           -----                                                                                                                                                         
Database3                      210                                                                                                                                                           
Database1                      440                                                                                                                                                           
Database2                      140

The results should be:

Name                           Value                                                                                                                                                         
----                           -----                                                                                                                                                         
Database2                      140
Database3                      210                                                                                                                                                           
Database1                      440

Any idea what I am missing? Any reading material to dive into?

This blog solves your problem. In short, try this:

$Datas.GetEnumerator() | sort value

value is not necessary (sort by value by default). Use name to sort by name.
