I agree with Phil's concern about is_ordered suggesting that the return type is Boolean.
"disorder" doesn't sit quite right with me for some reason.
How about "ordered_until", maybe?
or "find_unordered"
+1 for "find_unordered".
That's pretty good, but it made me think of the unordered containers, and then that it would find the unordered containers in a sequence. Stupid? Yes. Nevertheless, that was my thought sequence (pun intended).
That's funny. I thought of unordered_<containers> as well when I read that, but I had a positive reaction to that thought sequence since the semantics of the word 'unordered' are congruent in both contexts. However, I do think that the 'find_' prefix changes the scope to elements of the container rather than the container as a whole (as in unordered_<container>). I actually really like find_disorder(), because it makes it sound more righteous, but find_unordered() is less likely to offend more delicate sensibilities.
Go with "find_unordered".
