sort STL lists

[Hagen]

Hello,

got a short question about the sort algorithm of the list container in the
Standard Template Library:

Can I use the sort algorithm with another parameter to sort by? Sort uses
the operator< of the elements it consists of to sort the list. Now I´m
interested to sort the elements by another < relation (I´m dealing with
multivariate polynomials). Do I have to change the operator to sort the way
it is most often needed and have to sort by hand for the less often cases or
is there a way to tell sort by which relation it should sort the list?

Thank you, Greetings, Hagen.

Re: sort STL lists

Hi

Yes, You can use a functor for the sort.

It is an object with the '()' overloaded.


Look at http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl for details
