Sorting Algorithm for Matlab

it will be a random matrix 3x3.For example=[7 5 1][8 9 2][3 5] One field is empty.I need use sorting algorithm.Looks like=[1 2 3][4 5 6][7 8 ] Empty field will be final.

what sorting algo are you looking for?

Answer 1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

A={[7 5 1],[8 9 2],[3   5]}
idx2=cumsum(cellfun(@numel,A));
idx1=[1 idx2(1:end-1)+1];
C=sort(cell2mat(A));
out=arrayfun(@(ii1,ii2)  C(ii1:ii2),idx1,idx2,'un',0);
celldisp(out)

thank you for answer.so other question.numbers move on empty field but do not cross,only forward,back,down up..How can solve this problem?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Please give an example and show the expected result

[Huseyin Narci]

still 3x3 random matrix for example:

[3 5 8]

[1 _ 4]

[6 7 2] _(empty field) numbers move on empty field but do not cross,only forward,back,down and up..

expected result still same :

[1 2 3]

[4 5 6]

[7 8 _]

it is a kind of game..

Sounds to me like you are dealing with the 8 Puzzle; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle
