Hello Georgios,

I'm not sure what the absolute best way to do this for your particular application, but here is one way you could do it.

A = [1 2 3 4 0 0 0 ; 5 3 2 1 0 0 0];
Aorig = A;
A(2,4:5) = Aorig(2,3:4);
A(2,3) = Aorig(2,5);

Or if you'd rather one-line it:

A(2,3:5) = A(2,[5 3 4]);

I'll let you work out a more general function though, depending on what you know, and what you'll need to adapt for as an input.
