How do I sort all the columns of a table based on the first column?

I am trying to sort a table which contains datetime values in the first column and corresponding temperatures in the second column. I want to sort the table by datetime without affecting the relationship between datetime and the temperatures.

For example, if a table looks like this:

Date Temperature

2022-06-01 21

2022-05-29 18

2022-05-21 19

2022-06-04 25

2022-06-02 22

I want it to be sorted like below:

Date Temperature

2022-05-21 19

2022-05-29 18

2022-06-01 21

2022-06-02 22

2022-06-04 25

How do I achieve this?

Where T is your table:

T = sortrows(T,'Date')

Demonstration:

Date = datetime(2022,[6;5;5;6;6],[1;29;21;4;2]);
Temperature = [21;18;19;25;22];
T = table(Date,Temperature)

T = 5×2 table
       Date        Temperature
    ___________    ___________

    01-Jun-2022        21     
    29-May-2022        18     
    21-May-2022        19     
    04-Jun-2022        25     
    02-Jun-2022        22     

T = sortrows(T,'Date')

T = 5×2 table
       Date        Temperature
    ___________    ___________

    21-May-2022        19     
    29-May-2022        18     
    01-Jun-2022        21     
    02-Jun-2022        22     
    04-Jun-2022        25
