MATLAB: User-Defined Selection Sort for 2-D arrays of any size (MATLAB)

Question

 I am trying to create a user-defined selection sort for 2-D arrays.  The user will select column to sort.
However, as the desired column is selected all columns are to be moved at the same time so that the values in a single row are kept together.

My attempt:

load sort_data.dat

col = input('Please enter the column you wish to sort: ');

sortorder(sort_data,col)

————————————————————————————-

function [value,loc] = sortorder(array,col) %This function uses the selection sort method to sort a column of an array

[n,m] = size(array); loc = 1; value = 1; i = n;

j = 1;

for i = 1:n

    i = i - 1 ;
    if i >= 2
    value = max(array(1:i,col));

else

   array(1:n,1:m);
    if [value] ~= max(array(i, col))
        for j = 1:m
            j = j + 1;
            temp = array(loc,j);
            array(loc,j) = array(i,j);
            array(i,j) = temp;
        end   
        end      
    end
end

Any ideas?

Answer 1

   function [array2,p] = sortorder(array,col)
    [~,p] = sort(array(:,col));
    array2 = array(p,:);
   return
