Sorting Columns of a table.

I have a table with two columns without any title, i want to sort the numbers in the table in an order. I've a ttached a picture of my table to the question.

Is there a particular reason why you did not store them as numeric if you want them to act numeric?

[Guillaume]

I suspect the reason is that graph won't let you use numeric values for the node names.

>> g = graph(eye(3));
>> g.Nodes = table([1;2;3], 'VariableNames', {'Name'})
Error using graph.validateName (line 358)
Node names must be a cell array of nonempty character vectors.

[Guillaume]

And please do not ask the same question multiple times. It's a waste of our effort.

graph() accepts numeric s and t arrays. categorical too I think.

[Guillaume]

Yes, the edges can be numeric (and usually are), the node names cannot be numeric.

However, looking at the discussion in the other identical question, that wx appears to be simply a copy of the Edge table, not something generated from the Node table, so you are right, the values in wx should be numeric.

Okay you can sort them in the way you want. Have a look on the function sort. With this you can sort.

Answer 2

[Guillaume]

If you want to sort wx according to the numeric values:

[~, order] = sortrows(str2double(wx.EndNodes));
wx = wx(order, :);
