How to rearrange 2x5 matrix while keeping the size the same?

Hi,

How do I tranpose such that

x = [1, 5, 9, 4, 8; 3, 7, 2, 6, 10] to

x =[1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

while keeping the 2x5 matrix? This matrix was returned from a function reading a file consisting of a row-oriented data.

thank you.

Rather than sorting the data, I suspect that you want something like this:

x = [1, 5, 9, 4, 8; 3, 7, 2, 6, 10]

x = 2×5

1 5 9 4 8 3 7 2 6 10

y = reshape(x,[5,2]).'

y = 2×5

1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 10

x = [1, 5, 9, 4, 8; 3, 7, 2, 6, 10]

x = 2×5

1 5 9 4 8 3 7 2 6 10

y = reshape(x(:), flip(size(x))).'

y = 2×5

1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 10

For comparison:

expected =[1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10] 

expected = 2×5

1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 10

x = [1, 5, 9, 4, 8; 3, 7, 2, 6, 10]

x = 2×5

1 5 9 4 8 3 7 2 6 10

x2 = reshape(sort(reshape(x,1,[])),size(x,1),size(x,2))

x2 = 2×5

1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 10
