std::sort

[Extrawurst]

Hello, can please someone explain the way to use the std::sort-algorithm!
Well, I have a self-defined struct: MyStruct and a vector<MyStruct>, and now i want to sort this vector with the std::sort-template-function! But i never used template-functions before with their weird declaration!
So please help me!

Ps: it's important that i can implement my own compare-function, i think this is possible with std::sort isn't it ?!

If you have bugs or compilation errors, you can post some code if you want, so that one can help you better.

Okay, thanks it seems to be quite easy, but one last question! is it right that the third parameter of std::sort has to be the overloaded "()"-operator getting two pointers of its class and compare them ?

okay i got it now, i didn't read the explanations carefully the first time ;)
