using maxk with named columns

I want to locate the maximum number in a matrix.

For instance

A = magic(5)

to show the highest value I use maxk(A,1)

when I assign variable names to the table, maxk doesnt work, probably because there are now also names in the table.

How do I get this to work?

If all the columns in the table are numeric

max_val = max(T{:,:})

Note maxk(x,1) is same as max(k).
