Sort a std::list with myclass::operator<(myclass &other)

Question

I have a std::list and in my class I have myclass::operator<(myclass &other) defined.

I use the std::list.sort

Answer 1

assuming you don't have NULL pointers in your list just do

bool ptrsorter( myclass *a, myclass *b ) {
  return *a < *b;
  }

mylist.sort( ptrsorter );

or if you're lucky enough to be using a more recent compiler (with C++0x-support), you can use a lambda-expression:

mylist.sort( []( myclass *a, myclass *b ) { return *a < *b } );
