I am trying to plot my data (8376x35 array with 1x35 cell array of labels) in a 35 box boxplot and order the boxes in descending order based off of the median value of each column. I have seen a lot on ordering by grouping, but I don't believe I am dealing with specific groups as all are part of one group. I started by taking the median of each column , but if I sort that in descending order, I lose the equivalent sorting of the cell array. I tried converting the array to a table with the cell array as the variable names, but could not sort the table by median values of each column. How should I go about sorting my data so that I can plot it as a boxplot in descending order?
