@deftypefn {Loadable Function} {[@var{s}, @var{i}] =} sort (@var{x})\n\
@deftypefnx {Loadable Function} {[@var{s}, @var{i}] =} sort (@var{x}, @var{dim})\n\
@deftypefnx {Loadable Function} {[@var{s}, @var{i}] =} sort (@var{x}, @var{mode})\n\
@deftypefnx {Loadable Function} {[@var{s}, @var{i}] =} sort (@var{x}, @var{dim}, @var{mode})\n\
Return a copy of @var{x} with the elements arranged in increasing\n\
order.  For matrices, @code{sort} orders the elements in each column.\n\
\n\
For example,\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
sort ([1, 2; 2, 3; 3, 1])\n\
     @result{}  1  1\n\
         2  2\n\
         3  3\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
The @code{sort} function may also be used to produce a matrix\n\
containing the original row indices of the elements in the sorted\n\
matrix.  For example,\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
[s, i] = sort ([1, 2; 2, 3; 3, 1])\n\
     @result{} s = 1  1\n\
            2  2\n\
            3  3\n\
     @result{} i = 1  3\n\
            2  1\n\
            3  2\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
If the optional argument @var{dim} is given, then the matrix is sorted\n\
along the dimension defined by @var{dim}. The optional argument @code{mode}\n\
defines the order in which the values will be sorted. Valid values of\n\
@code{mode} are `ascend' or `descend'.\n\
\n\
For equal elements, the indices are such that the equal elements are listed\n\
in the order that appeared in the original list.\n\
\n\
The @code{sort} function may also be used to sort strings and cell arrays\n\
of strings, in which case the dictionary order of the strings is used.\n\
\n\
The algorithm used in @code{sort} is optimized for the sorting of partially\n\
ordered lists.\n\
