sorting data in a nested cell

I have a cell C that looks like this

The cells in the first column are all some numberx14. I want to sort C in ascending order based on the values of the first column of data in the cells in the first column of cell C. How would I go about doing that? I'm getting very confused with indexing for cells like this and just want to rearrange the cell.

You need to write a for loop and use classic sort algorithm. I had this problem, but there is no easy way to access or sort the data of matrixes inside the cell.

For example, you can access the first element of a matrix in the (1,1) element of the cell like this:

A{1,1}(1,1)

Change these algorithms to suit your application:
