Returning an Entire Row Based on the Max in a Column

Hi.

I'm trying to get the entire row based on the max value of a column. For example:

x = [5 6 6 9
    7 3 2 4
    3 12 8 4]

Now say I want the entire row belonging to the column 2 maximum value. I should get the row with 3 12 8 4 because 12 is the max value in column 2.

Is there a way to do this? I've tried the help and searching here and other places but cant seem to find it.

[~,imax]=max(x(:,2));

out = x(imax,:)

Boom. That was it.

Thanks a bunch!
