Thanks Steve, This is exactly what I was looking for. :cool: Avi.

The only problem you will run into is if the item_calculation struct is a private inner class, the opeartor< will be "private", so it won't be able to be used outside the outer class (that is, sort may have issues with it). That goes away if it is a public inner class, or if you override the operators outside the class. There are other reasons to override binary operators outside the class they operate on, but that goes beyond the scope of this question.
