MATLAB: Sort cell array columns by two dimensions

cell arraysortsortrows

I want to sort the columns of a cell array along the first two rows.

The array has this form (the top row is already sorted):

array = {'A' 'A' 'B' 'B' 'B' 'C' 'C'; ...
          1  0.1  1  0.1 0.5  1  0.1; ...
          2   3   2   4   5   2   3}

And I would like the output to be in this form:

array = {'A'  'A' 'B' 'B'  'B' 'C' 'C'; ...
         0.1   1  0.1 0.5   1  0.1  1; ...
          3    2   4   5    2   3   2}

Thanks in advance!

array = {'A' 'A' 'B' 'B' 'B' 'C' 'C'
  1  0.1  1  0.1 0.5  1  0.1
  2   3   2   4   5   2   3}
array=sortrows(array',[1,2])'

 b=[a,sum(logical(a),2)]; 
 result=sortrows(b,[1,2,size(b,2)]); 
 result(:,end)=[]

If you want to preserve each 4x3 block, you could try something like this:

B = reshape(A(:, [1:3:end, 2:3:end, 3:3:end]), [], 3 );
