My g++ complains about this line (and all other similar lines in your code):
string temp1(temp.begin(),temp.find(",",0));
because it doesn't know a constructor of std::string whose parameters are std::string's iterator, and a size_t.
Did you mean to write temp1(temp.begin(),
temp.begin() + temp.find(",",0))?

This is seemingly simple but very tricky / weird problem.
The only way to get an AC solution (that I know of) is
(1) Create a struct to store the data
(2) Push this struct into a vector
(3) Write a custom compare to sort the vector by last names
I tried several other ways that seemed equivalent but they ended up getting WA. The above method was the
only one that worked.
Here's some other important information that I learned along the way
(a) There are no more than 3500 entries.
(b) Apparently, each entry is unique. So, no two people have the same last name.
If you're struggling with this problem, please don't hesitate to reach out for help by replying to this message.
Anyway, so, I don't have any good test input / output to share because the judge's input's plain strange. But here's one just to make sure that the basics of your code are correct.

There was probably a bug in your code. Don't over-complicate it. Yes there are often many ways to solve a problem, but I'd recommend going with the most straightforward that is correct and fast enough. Don't take a simple problem and try to make it difficult.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I'm indeed trying hard to simplify the manner in which I approach a problem but it's not always easy. In other words, I don't complicate the problem on purpose - it's just that I don't necessarily know any other way to go about solving it. I'm hopeful that this will change as I attempt and solve more problems. If you have any thoughts on how I could actively do this (other than keep solving problems), I'd appreciate this very much.
Thanks again.

After reading the problem statement think about what it's asking you to do at a high simple level. Some problem statements are long, verbose, and intentionally misleading but are actually easy to code once you figure it out. On this problem it's just asking you to read in some records and display them sorted.

Thank you. I tried this approach on a couple problems and it really does help. For example, 11136 (Hoax or What) looks like it's really hard (because it's so long-winded) but like you said, it's not so once you think about it for a bit. I remember that when I first started on UVA back in '10, I couldn't do some of the problems because they were so long-winded / confusing. It didn't occur to me that this was a strategy.
Also, after I work the problem out on scratch paper, I actually write the code down too (and try to make it so that it's bug-free when it's compiled). Then, all I do is type in the code. Sometimes, when I do this, I make adjustments to the original code. If there's too big a variation between the code on scratch paper and the one I finally have when it's all typed in, then things tend to get big / messy. I'm working on them being the same but it's work in progress.
How do you go about solving problems?

I usually just read the problem statement and then start coding. Sometimes it helps to draw a diagram on paper.
