Find function - index by rows?

For the find function, I noticed that it indexes downward column by column. Is there a way to make it so that it indexes left to right row by row?

Nope. Transpose your data and start thinking in terms of columns, not rows.

Apply find function to the transpose of your matrix

find(A'==2) % for example

Is there a way to do it without changing the orientation of the matrix. I'm trying to find the indices for "marching band member positions" and I want to try "moving" members one at a time down a row. With how the find function works now, the members are moving one at a time down a column and I'm running into some issues with that method, so I want to see how doing so with rows would affect my desired output.

You are not changing your Matrix, your are just operating on another Matrix which is A'

Example:

A = rand(15) > .4; % your array

[i0,j0] = find(A);
c = num2cell(sortrows([i0,j0],1),1);
[i_out,j_out] = c{:};

or jast (as by Azzi)

[j_out,i_out] = find(A.');
