As one example, assume that we want to print the vector after we call elimDups (§ 10.2.3, p. 384). However, we’ll also assume that we want to see the words ordered by their size, and then alphabetically within each size. To reorder the vector by length, we’ll use a second, overloaded version of sort. This version of sort takes a third argument that is a predicate.
