Eventually, when I get around to implementing the full suite of generic algorithms, the Charles library should meet most sorting needs. However, the library is useable as is right now, and you can indeed sort every kind of container in the library. http://home.earthlink.net/~matthewjheaney/charles/ I have been busy tweaking the containers. There will be a new release either this week or early next week. I will then be devoting the month of August (2003) to writing a proposal in response to AI-302, for a standard container library.
