Sort a table with different orders for different columns

11 次查看(过去 30 天)
Assume table A:
A = [
'k' 2 4
'a' 3 8
'a' 4 5
'k' 2 2
'a' 3 16
'k' 9 3
'k' 9 8
'a' 4 6
]
If i use sortrows(A) every column is sorted with ascending order:
A = [
'a' 3 8
'a' 3 16
'a' 4 5
'a' 4 6
'k' 2 2
'k' 2 4
'k' 9 3
'k' 9 8
]
Is there a way to sort rows, so first and second column is sorted with ascending order, but third one with descending? I want to get something like this:
A = [
'a' 3 16
'a' 3 8
'a' 4 6
'a' 4 5
'k' 2 4
'k' 2 2
'k' 9 8
'k' 9 3
]

I want to sort by first column in ascending order, then second in ascending order, then third in descending, so like in example, sortrows is sorting first column, so 'a's are before the 'k's, then for every 'a' it sorts second column, so 'a' 3 is before 'a' 4 etc. My problem is sortrows sorts it by (asc,asc,asc) and I want it sorted by (asc,asc,desc).

It would likely be necessary to sort each column independently, then concatenate the results into a new matrix.

Where T is your table:
sortrows(T,[1,2,-3])

You can't have a matrix with characters and numbers. But if you convert the characters to double, then:
A=[sort(A(:,1)),sort(A(:,2)),sort(A(:,3),'descend')];
