MATLAB: Intersect(A,B) returns the data with no repetitions

intersectrepetition

Dear Sir/Madam,
I was using "intersect" in my Matlab code where I want the following:
A = [ 4 1 1 2 3];
[B] = sort(A, 'ascend'); % so that B is sorting A in ascending order, so I got B = [1 1 2 3 4]
[same,a] = intersect(B,A);
I want same = [1 1 2 3 4] but the simulation gives me same = [1 2 3 4] by omitting the repeated '1'.
I understand by using intersect it will return data with no repetition
C = intersect(A,B) returns the data common to both A and B with no repetitions.
I want it to show the complete data including those repetition, what are the alternatives I can use rather than the function "intersect"?
For example:
A = [ 4 1 1 2 3];
[B] = sort(A, 'ascend'); % so that B is sorting A in ascending order, so I got B = [1 1 2 3 4]
[same,a] = intersect(B,A);
So now I want it to be like this same =[1 1 2 3 4] and a=[2 3 4 5 1].
I need to access ‘a’ where ‘a’ shows the original index prior to sorting so I can use it for further processing.
Thank you very much.

I think you are looking for the second output of SORT
A = [ 4 1 1 2 3]
[B, ix] = sort(A, 'ascend')
Now, B equals A(ix)
