MATLAB: Array rearrangement

Question

Hi,

I have an array of MxN numbers, and I want to rearrange it so that the numbers are all in one column:

1 2 4 5 3 6 7 8

becomes

1 3 2 6 4 7 5 8

How can I do this for an array of any size?

Thanks,

Richard

Answer 1

A = A(:); %column-wise extractivon

or for more fancy manipulations:

doc permute
doc transpose
doc reshape
