sheeesh! finally found it std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), greater<unsigned int>()); as apposed to std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end(), less<unsigned int>()); B-) On Wednesday 23 February 2005 08:21 am, Brad Bourn wrote:

This should be pretty simple. I can't for the life of me find the answer on google or remember to look through my books at home.

Figure I'll just ask here and see what happens.

I have a vector or ints or unsigned ints

vector<unsigned int> vec

vec.push_back(1); vec.push_back(1); vec.push_back(1);

And I want to sort it Descending.

When I call

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

it sorts ascending.

What would I add for the third parameter to get it to sort descending instead?
