Sort the elements of the list (or array-like collection) items in ascending order of x.p, where p is a field of the type Item of the objects in items.

import qualified Data.List as List
List.sortOn p items
sortBy (comparing p) items
items.sort_by(|a,b| a.p.cmp(&b.p));
items.sort_by_key(|x| x.p);
with Ada.Containers.Vectors;
use Ada.Containers;
declare
   function Compare_Function (Left, Right : Item) return Boolean is (Left.P < Right.P);
   
   package Item_Vector_Sorting is new Item_Vectors.Generic_Sorting (Compare_Function);

   use Item_Vector_Sorting;
begin
   Sort (Items);
end;
