why only std::list::sort()?

My question is can we sort two std::lists using std::sort function? I have 2 string lists

  std::list<std::string>list1, list2;
  .....//entering values to list
  std::sort(list1.begin(), list1.end());

  std::sort(list2.begin(), list2.end());

while i am sorting these lists i am getting error. I tried with std::vector, at this time the sort works.

The error is like

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\xutility(1158) : see declaration of 'std::operator -' 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\algorithm(3642): error C2784: '_Base1::difference_type std::operator - (const std::_Revranit<_RanIt,_Base> &,const std::_Revranit<_RanIt2,_Base2> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const std::_Revranit<_RanIt,_Base> &' from 'std::_List_iterator<_Mylist>' 1> with 1> [ 1> _Mylist=std::_List_val> 1> ]

I have to know that only std::sort supports lists?
