I am trying to sort the attached file first by column 1, then by column 3. I have tried the following code:
fid = fopen(filename);
data = textscan(fid, '%s %f %f');
fclose(fid);
matrix_data = [data{:}];
sort_data = sortrows(matrix_data, [1,3]);
This tells me that CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.
Could someone tell me what is wrong with this code?
Thanks.

The first column of data is a cell array of strings, whereas columns 2 and 3 are numeric arrays. You cannot concatenate them without performing first a conversion. You can also convert numeric arrays to cell arrays and have both strings and numbers in a large cell array. E.g.
matrix_data = [data{1}, num2cell(data{2}), num2cell(data{3})] ;
or
matrix_data = [data{1}, num2cell([data{2:3}])] ;
that you can then sort:
>> sort_data = sortrows(matrix_data, [1,3])
sort_data =
'A88888888888888888880011' [-65] [ 1]
'A88888888888888888880011' [-52] [ 2]
'A88888888888888888880011' [-64] [ 3]
'A88888888888888888880011' [-52] [ 4]

This should solve your problem.
data = textscan(fid, '%s %s %s');
instead of
data = textscan(fid, '%s %f %f');

Careful if you are comparing numbers which can change sign though, as this is sorting strings only:
>> sortrows( {'-88'; '-8'; '9'} )
ans =
'-8'
'-88'
'9'
