Can we create submatrices of similar elements of matrix.

I have matrix {'v1' 'e1' 'v2' 'e3' 'v3' 'e4' 'v3' 'e5' 'v4'} and I want to create sub matrices where all vs should go into one matrix and all es should go into another matrix.

Like V = {'v1' 'v2' 'v3' 'v3' 'v4'} and E = {'e1' 'e3' 'e4' 'e5'}

Thanks in advance

VS = {'v1','e1','v2','e3','v3','e4','v3','e5','v4'};
E = VS(startsWith(VS,'e'))

E = 1×4 cell array
    {'e1'}    {'e3'}    {'e4'}    {'e5'}

V = VS(startsWith(VS,'v'))

V = 1×5 cell array
    {'v1'}    {'v2'}    {'v3'}    {'v3'}    {'v4'}
