sorting a matrix

Respected Sir/Madam,

I have taken some 3*3 matrix for that I had assigned a variable for each row. I had used ‘sort’ command for sorting either in increasing or deceasing mode for only one row. My question is when I sort one row then the corresponding rows in that column should come but the remaining rows should not be sorted. Can you please clarify it to me?

With regards Fathima

If you assigned the single rows to variables, using SORT affects the sepcified variable only. Therefore I do not understand the question. Please post the code with some example values as input and wanted output.

To sort just a single row:

A = [1 2 3
     4 5 6
     7 8 9];

% Sort only first row
A(1,:) = sort(A(1,:),'descend');
