Why won't the array sort?

CODE

my @data = ('PJ RER Apts to Share|PROVIDENCE',  
'PJ RER Apts to Share|JOHNSTON',  
'PJ RER Apts to Share|JOHNSTON',  
'PJ RER Apts to Share|JOHNSTON',  
'PJ RER Condo|WEST WARWICK',  
'PJ RER Condo|WARWICK');  

foreach my $line (@data) {  
    $count = @data;  
    chomp($line);  
    @fields = split(/\|/,$line);  
    if ($fields[0] eq "PJ RER Apts to Share"){  
    @city = "\u\L$fields[1]";  
    @city_sort = sort (@city);  
    print "@city_sort","\n";  
    }  
}  
print "$count","\n";  

OUTPUT

Providence
