Sorting a matrix according to another one

Dear all,
I have the following problem to solve.
clear
clc
% A matrix defined as follows
A=[11 0.001 3
11 0.001 4
12 0.003 5
9 0.002 6
8 0.000 7
10 0.004 8
8 0.000 9
9 0.002 10];
% B matrix is the reference one
B=[8 0.000
8 0.000
9 0.002
10 0.004
9 0.002
11 0.001
11 0.001
12 0.003];
I want to sort A such that the first two columns coincide with B (and sort the other A column in agreement with this, of course). I used this code, but the problem is that since in B I have repeted conditions the result is not the one I desire.
[~,Y]=ismember(A(:,1:2),B,'rows');
[~,Z]=sort(Y);
C=A(Z,:);
% C=8 0.000 7
% 8 0.000 9
% 9 0.002 6
% 9 0.002 10
% 10 0.004 8
% 11 0.001 3
% 11 0.001 4
% 12 0.003 5
But what I want is
% C=8 0.000 7
% 8 0.000 9
% 9 0.002 6
% 10 0.004 8
% 9 0.002 10
% 11 0.001 3
% 11 0.001 4
% 12 0.003 5
Do you have any suggestions that don't involve using nested loops and if conditions?
Thank you very much for your attention!

What if B has some equal rows (like e.g. [8 0] or [11 0.001]) ?
Thanks for your answer. Well in this case the order in which they appear in C should be the one they have in A. In this case with [8 0], for example, I want
[8 0 7
8 0 9]
Because in A they appear with this order.

A = [11 0.001 3
11 0.001 4
12 0.003 5
9 0.002 6
8 0.000 7
10 0.004 8
8 0.000 9
9 0.002 10];
% B matrix is the reference one
B = [8 0.000
8 0.000
9 0.002
10 0.004
9 0.002
11 0.001
11 0.001
12 0.003];
[~,idx] = sortrows(A,[1 2]);
[~,jdx] = sortrows(B,[1 2]);
C = A(idx(jdx),:)
C = 8×3
8.0000 0 7.0000 8.0000 0 9.0000 9.0000 0.0020 6.0000 10.0000 0.0040 8.0000 9.0000 0.0020 10.0000 11.0000 0.0010 3.0000 11.0000 0.0010 4.0000 12.0000 0.0030 5.0000

Thanks for your answer, however your solution works for this case, but for example if
B=[9 0.002
8 0.000
8 0.000
10 0.004
9 0.002
11 0.001
11 0.001
12 0.003];
The output C has a different order:
C= 8.0000 0 9.0000
9.0000 0.0020 6.0000
8.0000 0 7.0000
10.0000 0.0040 8.0000
9.0000 0.0020 10.0000
11.0000 0.0010 3.0000
11.0000 0.0010 4.0000
12.0000 0.0030 5.0000
A=[11 0.001 3
11 0.001 4
12 0.003 5
9 0.002 6
8 0.000 7
10 0.004 8
8 0.000 9
9 0.002 10];
% B matrix is the reference one
B=[8 0.000
8 0.000
9 0.002
10 0.004
9 0.002
11 0.001
11 0.001
12 0.003];
Acopy = A;
C = zeros(size(A));
for i = 1:size(A,1)
idx = find(Acopy(:,1:2)==B(i,:),1);
C(i,:) = Acopy(idx,:);
Acopy(idx,:) = [];
end
C
C = 8×3
8.0000 0 7.0000 8.0000 0 9.0000 9.0000 0.0020 6.0000 10.0000 0.0040 8.0000 9.0000 0.0020 10.0000 11.0000 0.0010 3.0000 11.0000 0.0010 4.0000 12.0000 0.0030 5.0000
Thank you very much for your help!
