Need advice about list of lists

Hi guys,
I have list of class contain list of another class.

Code:

MyMessages class
{
   ID
   list <myPackets> Packets;
}

myPackets class
{
   Seq
  Text
}

I need advice which one is the right way to set myMessages class??

Code:

void set_myMessages(const int &ID, list <myPackets> Packets)

OR

Code:

void set_myMessages(const string &ID, string Seq, string Text)

and also I need advice how to make a list of class.
atm I use,

Code:

list <myPackets> listPackets;
myPackets Packets;

Packets.set(seq,text);
listPackets.push_back(Packets);

Packets.set(seq,text);
listPackets.push_back(Packets);

It does work but, I couldn't print the listPackets using iterator?
so How do I print my list??? Also I need to sort list of my Packets, but
my list of packet contain 2 element seq and text, so I couldn't use sort() funtion, so any Idea how I sorting the data??
Thank You So Much

You might want to elaborate on what your MyMessages class models, what is the class interface that you currently have in mind, and what this function in question is supposed to do.

Using an iterator is probably the right way to do traverse a std::list.

If it makes sense in general, you could overload operator< for your myPackets class. If it does not make sense in general, then you could define a predicate function or function object that compares myPackets objects with a "less than" ordering, and then you can pass that function or function object to the std::list sort member function.

laserlight thank you for all the input,
Finally I be able to make it works.
