Hi, I was wondering if there is any method to sort the words alphabetically. I know how it can be done in Java, but I assusme Matlab should be having a quicker and compact method.
Cheers, Vish

>> sort({'gamma', 'delta', 'alpha', 'beta'})
ans =
'alpha' 'beta' 'delta' 'gamma'

There is no single "natural order" for sorting. The rules for sorting alphabetically depend upon language and region. Especially if the language has accents or other diacritical marks.
If you were to specify exactly which characters you wish to deal with and the exact sorting order, someone might be able to assist you.
There is no Mathworks provided function that uses the LOCALE information to determine how to sort, and there is no Mathworks provided "dictionary sort" routine even just for English.

I know this is an older thread, but to help anyone looking at this, I used the sortrows() command for my 7x7 character array and it worked fine to organize them alphabetically in terms of the english alphabet. I found that sort() works to organize cell arrays of strings or characters alphabetically, so it's up to you whether to use sortrows() or sort() based on if you're working with a string/character array or a cell array of strings/characters. Hope this helps!
