sort function template — Sorts a range in place

Synopsis

template<typename RandIter>
  void sort(RandIter first, RandIter last);
template<typename RandIter, typename Compare>
  void sort(RandIter first, RandIter last, Compare comp);

The sort function template sorts the range [first, last) in place. The sort is not stable, so equivalent elements do not preserve their original order.

The first version compares items using the < operator. The second version uses comp(X, Y) to test whether X < Y.
