Mapping Strings in C++

I thought this aswell, but you have it backwards. The point is to convert a string to it's corresponding enum, not the other way around.

I get that part, that's why you use std::find or std::lower_bound on the vector, but my point is that std::lower_bound will not give you the right answer unless your enum is defined with the names in alphabetical order.
