Hello
I have a cell arraye like this:
ca{1,1}={'x' ;'y'; 'z'};
ca{1,2}=[1 1 9 3;...
5 1 1 1;...
5 7 5 9];
ca{1,3}={13; 14 ; 10};
How can I sort this cell Array based on last column ( ca{1,3})?

I shouldn't convert the cell array to array. Is there any function to sort the array based on last column directly? or at least sort the first column (string column) based on last column.

[~,ii] = sort(cat(1,ca{3}{:}));
out = cellfun(@(x)x(ii,:),ca,'un',0);

Thanks a lot! But I didn't understand what this function return and what are its inputs:
out = cellfun(@(x)x(ii,:),ca,'un',0);

It applies a function on each element of a cell. The cell is ca and the function is @(x)x(ii,:). x is the cell element here. So in the end, it just applies the sorting array ii on each element of the cell. The 'un',0 is an additional parameter which is required whenever the output is a cell and not a numerical array. Just play with cellfun, you'll understand it easily.

>> [~,ix]=sort(cell2mat(ca{1,3}));
>> ca{1,2}=ca{1,2}(ix,:);
>> ca{1,2}
ans =
5 1 1 1
5 7 5 9
1 1 9 3
>>
Having the last cell as an array of three elements instead of a 3-vector makes it tougher--otherwise could do away w/ the cell2mat and just use the curlies to address the cell for sorting.

cat(1,ca{3}{:}) in Andrei Bobrov's answer is still converting a cell array to regular array then sorts it. That's not any different than dpb's first answer using cell2mat.
The problem is that she wants to do it without any conversion to other data format.

I think I have a problem in initialize the cell array if I introduce the cell array like for example :
m={'a' 10; 'b' 12;'c' 9}
then I can use sortrows :
m1=sortrows(m,2)
but I have to change other codes :(
