Sorting a mixed text-numeric matrix (cell array) by one of its (numeric) columns

I have an Excel spreadsheet whose rows I'd like to randomly shuffle and further use in Matlab. To that end, I'm reading the XLS into a cell array, generating random numbers into a column, then sorting by that column. This is proving to be problematic though, because of conflicting variable types. The code I used is:
[num, txt, M] = xlsread(fileName);
for row=2:row_N % generate random numbers in the D column
M(row,4) = num2cell(rand);
end
M = sortrows(M,4);
This leads to my matrix looking like this:
Because the D column contains numbers while there's text in the other columns, the sorting cannot be done (it says "Cell elements must be character arrays.").
I tried various conversions between numeric and cell variables, and also tried using 'readtable' instead of 'xlsread' - but there is always a problem, such that I cannot get this conflict solved.

t=readtable(fileName,'readvariablenames',1);
t.sort=rand(height(t),1);
[~,ix]=sort(t.sort);
t=t(ix,:);

Ah!
Did you use 1 or '1' ? It's a numeric one, not character (altho T==>~0 so should still be ok altho I can see a test for other than logical or numeric)
