sorting a std::list

I tried taking a list and pass it through std::sort like the following:
sort(Unsorted.begin(), Unsorted.end());
I got an error back stating that the list iterator doesn't have a
binary substraction operator.
Peeking in the algoritm header file it's clear why seeing that sort
there calls _sort(_First, _Last, _Last-_First) which might be a tad
challenging seeing that the different values stored in a list do not
need to be stored consecutively.
My question is there another way to sort the list in the STL?
