Help sorting a vector/map ....

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

i have a vector of structs ...

struct filestore
{
    string filename;
    int wordcount;
};

vector <filestore> filesortlist;

now i want to sort them by the wordcount value in desecending order

whats wrong with this

std::sort(filesortlist.begin(), filesortlist.end());

any help? its a compile time error being triggered in a header file.

I have the experience that the header file is NEVER wrong (for some reason). Recheck any code relating to the header file, along with lines before it. What kind of error are you getting?

2472 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\bits\stl_algo.h   instantiated from `void std::__introsort_loop(_RandomAccessIterator, _RandomAccessIterator, _Size) [with _RandomAccessIterator = __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<filestore*, std::vector<filestore, std::allocator<filestore> > >, _Size = int]'

i dont think sort knows how to compare the elements of the vector/list.

you need to create a comparator or something like that.
a compare function, and either make it globally accessible or otherwise indicate that the sort routine should use it.
