MATLAB: Is there a method to sort a list an array of words alphabetically (natural order sorting)

MATLAB

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

If you actually want to sort filenames into alphanumeric order, then one option is to download my FEX submission natsortfiles:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47434-natural-order-filename-sort

and then use it something like this:

>> C = {'abc1_test.txt'; 'abc11_test.txt'};
>> D = natsortfiles(C)
D = 
    'abc1_test.txt'
    'abc11_test.txt'
