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

8 views (last 30 days)
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)
S2 = 5×1 string array
"a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
