Sorting a container of shared_ptr<T>

Hello to everyone. I'm starting to take a look on Boost and was happy 
to find things like better smart pointers. Though, in my tests, I 
haven't been able to sort, say, a vector of shared_ptr without 
defining special comparators. I thought that the overload for the < 
operator would help me for that, but that operator compares pointers, 
not objects, so it doesn't do the work that I expected.

I guess I'm not understanding this well. Could someone explain this 
to me?

Saludos,
Alex
