How to sort a matrix by using values in another vector in matlab?

问题

My situation is:

I get a 1000*2 matrix and a 1000*1 vector.

And the row i in the matrix is mapped to the element i in the vector.

And the elements in the vector are all integer.

Now I want to sort the elements in the vector from low to high.

And I want to get a new matrix with the sequence of the new vector. And the mapping relationships are equal to the original situation.

How to do this in Matlab?

Thanks!

回答1:

Use sortrows:

First concat your vector to your matrix:

M2 = [V, M];

Then sort rows:

M2 = sortrows(M2); %// You should just do sortrows([V, M]) here, I just split it for the explanation

Then split the vector and the matrix:

V_sorted = M2(:,1);
M_sorted = M2(:, 2:end);

Or alternatively you can use the second output from sort:

[V_sorted, newRowOrder] = sort(V);
M_sorted = M(newRowOrder, :);
