sort STL lists

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.

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

I recently had the need to sort a large number of lists of lists, and wondered if an improvement to the Decorate-Sort-Undecorate idiom is in the works. Ideally, I would like to sort the list of lists (or tuples) in place by using a simple variant of the current idiom, i.e. list_of_lists.sort(*columns) where *columns is a tuple that specifies the column order for the sort. If *columns is left blank, the sort ought to work as it does...

I didn't think this would be as difficult as it now seems to me. I am reading in a csv file that documents a bunch of different info on about 200 books, such as title, author, publisher, isbn, date and several other bits of info too. I can do a simple sort over the first field (title as it turns out), and that is fine as far as it gets:

Hi community, just in case somebody needs a shellsort in c#, I rewrote the pascal code that I found in another newsgroup. Here are both. For more explanation on the pascal code you can search for the post on google. I was interested in the shell sort because I needed to sort long lists of data that may already be in order. For that reason I didn't want to use the arraylist's sort method, which uses quick sort (and has a worst case for...

....is to forget they are sorted??? While trying to optimize some NUCULAR libraries I discovered that the best way to merge 2 sorted lists together into a new sorted list is to just append them and re-sort. The following test case demonstrates this. It can be criticized in many ways: it only tests lists of the same size, it only uses "hashed" data, etcetera... Still, my testing shows "resort everything" is consistently

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
