MATLAB: Sort categorical variables in an alphabetical order

Question

I have a set of categorical variables

A = {'NY','Boston'}

How can one sort A to B as

B = {'Boston','NY'}

I tried sort but does not work.

Answer 1

As Ive Ive suggested: the sort function will do what you need:

B = categorical({'NY','Boston'});
sort(B)
ans = 1×2 categorical array
     Boston      NY
