MATLAB Basics video: Sorting matrices

This video covers how to sort a matrix, either sorting each column independently or sorting such that the original rows stay together. Most new users are able to find the SORT command without much problem, but the very useful SORTROWS is often missed.

Find the files here.

    Hi,I want to sort the coordiantes.How to do this?
    Eg- 1 0
    3 2
    21 0
    4 4
    2 3
    5 4
    so that the sorted coordinates come out to be:
    1 0
    21 0
    3 2
    2 3
    4 4
    5 4

    Mayank,

    Please watch the video again. You will see Sortrows at the end. This is the function you are looking for.

    Doug
