sorting std::vector<string> ignoring case

I need to sort a vector of strings ignoring case while preserving it.
That is, if I have a vector containing "Xyz" and "abc" I
want to report "abc" "Xyz". I can think of several inelegant ways,
such as creating a second vector with all upper (or lower)
and sort it while saving the sort order in an integer array, using the
latter to index the while reporting the original vector...
that is, an indirect sort. But I was wondering if there was some why
of accomplishing this more directly with the
STL algorithms.

Any thoughts?

TIA
