finding unique rows with largest value in 3rd column

Suppose I have a matrix
A=
1 2 3
1 3 8
2 1 3
2 1 5
2 2 8
1 2 9
4 3 2
I want to find a matrix which has unique first column and largest 3rd column.. So my resultant matrix should be
1 2 9
2 2 8
4 3 2
Any help will be highly appreciated!

So the order of the first two columns doesn't matter?
No order doesn't matter. Actually second column is not useful. Uniqueness is based on first column and one having largest value of 3rd column is selected.

Assuming that the order of the first two columns doesn't matter and that your expected matrix is missing [1 3 8]
Old/clarified in comments
x = [1 2 3
1 3 8
2 1 3
2 1 5
2 2 8
1 2 9
4 3 2];
[uv,~,idx] = unique(sort(x(:,[1 2]),2),'rows');
v = accumarray(idx,x(:,3),[],@max);
vv = [uv v]
vv =
1 2 9
1 3 8
2 2 8
3 4 2

He only wanted one row with 1 in the first column not two, and that would be the row that had 9 in column 3, not 8 because 9 is larger than 8.
Yes you are right... I want only one row with 1 in first column
Even less work:
x = [1 2 3
1 3 8
2 1 3
2 1 5
2 2 8
1 2 9
4 3 2];
[uv,~,idx] = unique(x(:,1));
v = accumarray(idx,x(:,3),[],@max);
vv = [uv v]
vv =
1 9
2 8
4 2
Thanks! I want to preserve the second column information, I need that in future... so I want all the 3 columns in my answer... I am sure it must be a small modification but I am unable to do it
Well do you want the first occurrence of the second column or the maximum one? etc. I guess, how do you wish to pick the second value (e.g. 2 1 v. 2 2)

Simple answer for this case.
First sort rows with ascending 1st column and descending 3rd column(column you want to get the max), then see take unique...
A=[1 2 3
1 3 8
2 1 3
2 1 5
2 2 8
1 2 9
4 3 2];
A=sortrows(A,[1 -3]);
[~,idx]=unique(A(:,1));
A=A(idx,:);
result: 1 2 9
2 2 8
4 3 2
