Sort

You can sort a range with std::sort or std::stable_sort or sort until a position with std::partial_sort. In addition std::partial_sort_copy copies the partially sorted range.

If you want to know until which position a range is sorted, use std::is_sorted_until.

Per default the predefined function object std::less is used a as sorting criterion. However, you can use your sorting criterion. This has to obey the strict weak ordering.

Sorts the elements in the range:

void sort(RaIt first, RaIt last)
void sort(ExePol pol, RaIt first, RaIt last)

void sort(RaIt first, RaIt last, BiPre pre)
void sort(ExePol pol, RaIt first, RaIt last, BiPre pre)

Sorts the elements in the range (stable):

void stable_sort(RaIt first, RaIt last)
void stable_sort(ExePol pol, RaIt first, RaIt last)

void stable_sort(RaIt first, RaIt last, BiPre pre)
void stable_sort...
