Swapping Blocks in a Matrix

Hello. I'm trying to swap the first two numbers of the first and second rows of this test matrix with the last two numbers of the second and third rows. Is there any way to swap these numbers in a matrix that's not one row and/or not on the same row?

x = [1 2 3 4 5;
     6 7 8 9 10;
     11 12 13 14 15]

The result should be:

 x = [9 10 3 4 5;
       14 15 8 1 2;
       11 12 13 6 7]

>> x = [1,2,3,4,5;6,7,8,9,10;11,12,13,14,15]
x =
    1    2    3    4    5
    6    7    8    9   10
   11   12   13   14   15
>> x([1,4,11,14]) = x([11,14,1,4])
x =
    9   10    3    4    5
    6    7    8    1    2
   11   12   13   14   15

You can easily generate those linear indices with sub2ind.

The code to do it was actually this:

x([1,2,4,5,11,12,14,15]) = x([11,12,14,15,1,2,4,5])

...but thanks! I got the gist of it!

    [x(1:2,1:2) x(2:3,4:5)] = deal(x(2:3,4:5),x(1:2,1:2))

+1 neat use of deal.
