Re: Boost website changes and .'cxxstd'

Hi Edward,

I have added a secondary sort by library's name for libraries which have
the same cxxstd value when sorting by 'C++ Minimum'.

It's up and available now here:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master?sort=cxxstd

Please let me know if you have any more feedback.

Thank you,
Donovan
