Chaining of ordering predicates (e.g. for std::sort)

Question

You can pass a function pointer, function object (or boost lambda) to std::sort to define a strict weak ordering of the elements of the container you want sorted.

Answer 1

The chaining solution is verbose. You could also use boost::bind in conjunction with std::logical_and to build your sorting predicate. See the linked article for more information: How the boost bind library can improve your C++ programs
