Thread: Sort two vectors in the same order

If I have a string vector and an int vector of the same size, how can I sort the name vector alphabetically and sort the int vector in the same order? For example, I have string vector with John, Bob, Mike and an int vector with their ages 20, 21, 22, and I want to sort the vectors so it becomes Bob, John, Mike and 21, 20, 22. If I sort their names alphabetically, how can I sort their ages so that they match up?

You could use a map<string, int> instead of 2 vectors, then sorting would be irrelavent. You could also create a struct:

Code:

struct NameAge
{
    std::string  Name,
    int  Age
};

Then just create a vector<NameAge> instead of 2 vectors.
