Sorting Problem

[GravyBoatCaptn]

Hello there, i am trying to create a league table within a program, the teams points are located within individual data structs though. Can anyone help, I want the team with the most points on top , followed by the second most points ect. But i also want to output the team name alongside it.

Thanks

     

     cout<<UserTeam.Teamname<<"\t "<<UserTeam.Leaguepoints<<endl;
     cout<<Oppositionteam1.Teamname<<"\t "<<Oppositionteam1.Leaguepoints<<endl;
     cout<<Oppositionteam2.Teamname<<"\t\t "<<Oppositionteam2.Leaguepoints<<endl;
     cout<<Oppositionteam3.Teamname<<"\t "<<Oppositionteam3.Leaguepoints<<endl;
     cout<<Oppositionteam4.Teamname<<"\t\t "<<Oppositionteam4.Leaguepoints<<endl;
     cout<<Oppositionteam5.Teamname<<"\t "<<Oppositionteam5.Leaguepoints<<endl;

Userteam and Oppoisition teams are individual data structs.

I'm a new programmer so go easy

In a nutshell:

1. Create a container to store data for your individual teams (an array or vector of structs for example).
2. Define operator< (less than) for your team structs.
3. Call the std::sort function.
4. Print contents of newly sorted container from start to finish.

Probably less detail than you want... but lets see what you can make of that as a starting point.
