In C++, you can have custom comparator functions that specify how to decide whether one element goes before another when sorting. In your case, given 2 pairs, you want the one with the lower value for the first element to go before the other one. You can write a comparator function like so:
// This function returns true if the first pair is "less"
// than the second one according to some metric
// In this case, we say the first pair is "less" if the first element of the first pair
// is less than the first element of the second pair
bool pairCompare(const std::pair<double, Processor*>& firstElem, const std::pair<double, Processor*>& secondElem) {
return firstElem.first < secondElem.first;
}
Now, pass this function into your sort method:
//The sort function will use your custom comparator function
std::sort(baryProc.begin(), baryProc.end(), pairCompare);
