C++ Tutorial => Sorting sequence containers using compare function

Example

// Include sequence containers
#include <vector>
#include <deque>
#include <list>

// Insert sorting algorithm
#include <algorithm>

class Base {
 public:

    // Constructor that set variable to the value of v
    Base(int v): variable(v) {
    }
       
    int variable;
};

bool compare(const Base &a, const Base &b) {
    return a.variable < b.variable;
}

int main() {
    std::vector <Base> vector;
    std::deque <Base> deque;
    std::list <Base> list;
    
    // Create 2 elements to sort
    Base a(10);
    Base b(5);
    
    // Insert them into backs of containers
    vector.push_back(a);
    vector.push_back(b);
    
    deque.push_back(a);
    deque.push_back(b);
    
    list.push_back(a);
    list.push_back(b);
    
    // Now sort data using comparing function
    std::sort(vector.begin(), vector.end(), compare);
    std::sort(deque.begin(), deque.end(), compare);
    list.sort(compare);

    return 0;
}
