:relfileprefix: ../../
:mrdocs:

Sort this list in non‐decreasing order using the specified `comparator`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslstl_list.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
template<class COMPARE>
void
sort(COMPARE comparator);
----

== Description

`comparator` must define a strict weak ordering over `value_type` (see []and Strict Weak Ordering)). The sort is stable, meaning that if `!comparator(a, b) && !comparator(b, a)`, then the ordering of elements `a` and `b` in the sequence is preserved.

== Parameters

[cols="1,4"]
