Sort a string array according to equivalent names of another string array

I'm trying to sort string array "S1" according to the order of the equivalent string names in the string array "names". New to Matlab so I would tend towards comparing and looping, but hoping there's a more efficient method someone may know using the sort function.

names=["A";"B";"C";"D";"E"];
S1=["d";"c";"e";"a";"b"];
[~,index]=ismember(names, upper(S1));
S2=S1(index)
