STL multimap

I'm working on a project and I want to typedef multimap to a shorter name. So, I do this...

  
typedef multimap<WORD, Records*, greater<WORD>> RECORD_MAP;

Records* is a pointer to a struct but then the compiler likes to complain that it can't do that because I'm missing a ',' somewhere and that there's no type after the multimap so it just ignores that. Here are the errors/warnings it gives me:

      
error C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'RECORD_MAP'
error C2065: 'RECORD_MAP' : undeclared identifier
error C2143: syntax error : missing '>' before ';'
warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'class std::multimap' when no variable is declared

Any help in getting this to work would be appreciated. I'm learning, just like the best of us... Ok, now assume a spherical cow...

  <greater>>

is wrong. The compiler is trying to interpret it as a shift right operator. Put a space, like this:

  <greater> >

FFS, my post looks ugly, writing it normally and with code tags didnt display it correctly, now I have a pair of massive boxes in it to ever allow me to reply.

You do this (that is, use & g t ; and & l t ; without the spaces)

<greater> >

LOL, that was a funny mistake I made. Gosh, it was so obvious also. Thanks a lot.
