Check your sorted implementation and results against mine

Let's take a look at my implementation of sorting the results for the total amount spent by customer and compare it with yours. If you got to this point and you haven't actually tried this yourself or you got stuck, let me give you one more hint before I show you my solution. If you look at the word-count-better-sorted script that we used in the previous example for doing word frequency counts sorted by word frequency, you'll see that we did something very similar in there. If you got stuck, have a look at that script and give it another try first before you peek at the answer here.

If you've given it a try, go ahead and download the total-spent-by-customer-sorted script from the download package for this book and compare your solution to mine. There's more than one way to do these things, so just because I did it one way it doesn't mean you can't do it another way. As long as it works, that's what matters:
