How do I maintain rows when sorting a matrix in MATLAB?

Question

I have a 2-by-3 matrix, and I want to sort it according to the first column. Here's an example:

data   will change to -->  new data
11 33                      10 22
22 44                      11 33 
10 22                      22 44 

I have this code for sorting a matrix A but it doesn't work well:

sort(A,1,'ascend');

Answer 1

The SORTROWS function can handle that for you:

B = sortrows(A);
