Sort vector of strings by string length in C++

Hey folks,

I know C++ is currently not one of the topics covered by Treehouse. But I thought I'd take a chance.

I'm currently writing a program to check a document for palindromes. One last functionality that I'd like to implement is to print found palindromes by their size (I.E. aa, bob, malayalam) instead of alphabetically.

At the current time, I'm storing all found palindromes in a vector. The reason I'm using a vector over an array is because I don't have to define the size (The current document that I'm checking has 99,000+ words).

With that being said, would anyone know how to sort a vector of strings by string length in C++?

Any advice is welcome.

Best,

Jacob
