Hi all,
I have a 2-dimension array which its elements are time format, such as 22:13:98. I want to sort each row of this array in the ascending format, I mean from minimum time to maximum time. Any help is appreciated.

To be exact: Most likely "22:13:98" is a string, which means a CHAR vector. Then the "elements" are characters. But perhaps you mean a {N x 1} cell string, and the element is really the string '22:13:98'. So please post the code, which creates a relevant part of your data, such that this important detail is clear.

help sort
Example:
A = magic(5);
sort(A,2)
If you want to convert your time data to a numeric representation for sorting, try datenum.
help datenum
Example:
datenum('22:13:98','hh:mm:ss')

"22:13:98" is a strange example, because times wrap after 59 seconds usually.
I assume these times are stored in a matrix of type CHAR like this:
time = ['22:13:58'; ...
'22:14:15'; ...
'21:14:16'];
Then sortrows is sufficient already, because the alphabetical order equals the numerical time order also:
sorted = sortrows(time);
A conversion to the numerical time format would be required and useful only, if you really have mal-formatted times like "22:13:98" and want to compare it with "22:14:37".

Ahhh, that's it. For some reason, I always mistakenly remember being able to pass in 'rows' as an argument to sort instead of the numerical arguments. I had forgotten there was an entirely separate function. This must be what I've been thinking of.

A={'22:14:98' '22:13:98' '22:15:98';'22:17:98' '22:18:98' '22:11:98'}
out=arrayfun(@(x) datestr(x,'HH:MM:SS'),sort(cellfun(@datenum,A),2),'un',0)

Actually I wanted to mention, that CELLFUN and ARRAYFUN can be omitted here, but this does not work at least in R2009a and 2011b:
A = {'22:14:98' '22:13:98' '22:15:98';'22:17:98' '22:18:98' '22:11:98'};
size(cellfun(@datenum, A)) % [2 x 3] as wanted
size(datenum(A)) % [3 x 1] doe!
But the ARRAYFUN can be omitted:
out = cellstr(datestr(sort(cellfun(@datenum,A),2), 'HH:MM:SS'));
out = reshape(out, size(A));
Anyhow, this isn't substantially nicer or faster. Unfortunately datestr does not reply a cellstring directly.
