Sorting 2D Vector in C++ | Set 2 (In descending order by row and column) - GeeksforGeeks

We have discussed some of the cases of sorting 2D vector in below set 1.
Sorting 2D Vector in C++ | Set 1 (By row and column)
More cases are discussed in this article
Case 3 : To sort a particular row of 2D vector in descending orderThis type of sorting arranges a selected row of 2D vector in descending order . This is achieved by using “sort()” and passing iterators of 1D vector as its arguments.
// C++ code to demonstrate sorting of a// row of 2D vector in descending order#include<iostream>#include<vector> // for 2D vector#include<algorithm> // for sort()using namespace std;   int main(){    // Initializing 2D vector "vect" with    // values    vector< vector<int> > vect{{3, 5, 1},                               {4, 8, 6},                               {7, 2, 9}};    // Number of rows;    int m = vect.size();       // Number of columns (Assuming all rows    // are of same size).  We can have different    // sizes though (like Java).    int n = vect[0].size();       // Displaying the 2D vector before sorting    cout << "The Matrix before sorting 1st row is:\n";    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)    {        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)           cout << vect[i][j] << " ";        cout << endl;    }       // Use of "sort()" for sorting first row    sort(vect[0].rbegin(), vect[0].rend());       // Displaying the 2D vector after sorting    cout << "The Matrix after sorting 1st row is:\n";    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)    {        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)            cout << vect[i][j] << " ";        cout << endl;    }       return 0;}
Output:
The Matrix before sorting 1st row is:
3 5 1 
4 8 6 
7 2 9 
The Matrix after sorting 1st row is:
5 3 1 
4 8 6 
7 2 9 

Case 4 : To sort the entire 2D vector on basis of a particular column in descending order.In this type of sorting 2D vector is entirely sorted on basis of a chosen column in descending order. For example if the chosen column is second, the row with greatest value in second column becomes first row, second greatest value in second column becomes second row, and so on.
{3, 5, 1},{4, 8, 6},{7, 2, 9};
After sorting this matrix by second column, we get
{4, 8, 6} // Row with greatest value in second column{3, 5, 1} // Row with second greatest value in second column{7, 2, 9}
This is achieved by passing a third argument in “sort()” as a call to user defined explicit function.
// C++ code to demonstrate sorting of a// 2D vector on basis of a column in// descending order#include<iostream>#include<vector> // for 2D vector#include<algorithm> // for sort()using namespace std;   // Driver function to sort the 2D vector// on basis of a particular column in // descending orderbool sortcol( const vector<int>& v1,               const vector<int>& v2 ) {    return v1[1] > v2[1];}   int main(){    // Initializing 2D vector "vect" with    // values    vector< vector<int> > vect{{3, 5, 1},                                {4, 8, 6},                                {7, 2, 9}};       // Number of rows;    int m = vect.size();       // Number of columns (Assuming all rows    // are of same size).  We can have different    // sizes though (like Java).    int n = vect[0].size();           // Displaying the 2D vector before sorting    cout << "The Matrix before sorting is:\n";    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)    {        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)            cout << vect[i][j] << " ";        cout << endl;    }                                      // Use of "sort()" for sorting on basis    // of 2nd column in descending order    sort(vect.begin(), vect.end(),sortcol);       // Displaying the 2D vector after sorting    cout << "The Matrix after sorting is:\n";    for (int i=0; i<m; i++)    {        for (int j=0; j<n ;j++)            cout << vect[i][j] << " ";        cout << endl;    }    return 0;}
Output:
The Matrix before sorting is:
3 5 1 
4 8 6 
7 2 9 
The Matrix after sorting is:
4 8 6 
3 5 1 
7 2 9
