How does one go about sorting a vector containing custom (i.e. user defined) objects.
Probably, standard STL algorithm sort along with a predicate (a fu

Below is the code using lambdas

#include "stdafx.h"
#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

struct MyStruct
{
    int key;
    std::string stringValue;

    MyStruct(int k, const std::string& s) : key(k), stringValue(s) {}
};

int main()
{
    std::vector < MyStruct > vec;

    vec.push_back(MyStruct(4, "test"));
    vec.push_back(MyStruct(3, "a"));
    vec.push_back(MyStruct(2, "is"));
    vec.push_back(MyStruct(1, "this"));

    std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), 
        [] (const MyStruct& struct1, const MyStruct& struct2)
        {
            return (struct1.key < struct2.key);
        }
    );
    return 0;
