Download my FEX submission natsort, and simply use it like this:
test = natsort(test)
where test is your cell array. You might also be interested in natsortfiles, which is written specifically for sorting filenames and path names.

yup works thanks for the help
+1. This is a smart and nice solution. It would be even nicer to avoid the problem by using 'Apr01' instead of 'Apr1': Then sort is sufficient. But this was not part of the question.

Correct. Using ISO 8601 date formats also has the same advantage.
