(4) (since C++17)

Sorts the elements in the range [firstlast) in non-descending order. The order of equal elements is not guaranteed to be preserved.

1)

Elements are

sorted

with respect to

operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20)

.

3) Elements are sorted with respect to comp.

2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

If any of the following conditions is satisfied, the behavior is undefined:

[edit] Parameters first, last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to sort policy - the execution policy to use comp - comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) which returns ​true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second.

The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following:

bool cmp(const Type1& a, const Type2& b);

While the signature does not need to have const&, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1 and Type2 regardless of value category (thus, Type1& is not allowed, nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11)).
The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that an object of type RandomIt can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to both of them. ​

Type requirements -RandomIt must meet the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator. -Compare must meet the requirements of Compare. [edit] Complexity

Given \(\scriptsize N\)N as last - first:

1,2) \(\scriptsize O(N \cdot \log(N))\)O(N·log(N))

comparisons using

operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20)

.

3,4) \(\scriptsize O(N \cdot \log(N))\)O(N·log(N)) applications of the comparator comp.

[edit] Exceptions

The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows:

[edit] Possible implementation

See also the implementations in libstdc++ and libc++.

[edit] Notes

Before LWG713, the complexity requirement allowed sort() to be implemented using only Quicksort, which may need \(\scriptsize O(N^2)\)O(N2
)
comparisons in the worst case.

Introsort can handle all cases with \(\scriptsize O(N \cdot \log(N))\)O(N·log(N)) comparisons (without incurring additional overhead in the average case), and thus is usually used for implementing sort().

libc++ has not implemented the corrected time complexity requirement until LLVM 14.

[edit] Example
#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
 
int main()
{
    std::array<int, 10> s{5, 7, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 9, 0, 3};
 
    auto print = [&s](std::string_view const rem)
    {
        for (auto a : s)
            std::cout << a << ' ';
        std::cout << ": " << rem << '\n';
    };
 
    std::sort(s.begin(), s.end());
    print("sorted with the default operator<");
 
    std::sort(s.begin(), s.end(), std::greater<int>());
    print("sorted with the standard library compare function object");
 
    struct
    {
        bool operator()(int a, int b) const { return a < b; }
    }
    customLess;
 
    std::sort(s.begin(), s.end(), customLess);
    print("sorted with a custom function object");
 
    std::sort(s.begin(), s.end(), [](int a, int b)
                                  {
                                      return a > b;
                                  });
    print("sorted with a lambda expression");
}

Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : sorted with the default operator<
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 : sorted with the standard library compare function object
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : sorted with a custom function object
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 : sorted with a lambda expression
