Is there a way to force a figure window to show in front of all other windows (not just Matlab ones, but other programs)?

If you are using MS Windows you could experiment with using the 'topmost' command in Jan's File Exchange contribution https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/31437-windowapi

This question is ambiguous, but I think what "most people" would be looking for searching for an answer to this question are the following:
How to bring to the front a specific figure handle?
h = figure;
h2 = figure;
% bring figure with handle h to the front
figure(h);
How to bring to the front a known figure with a given name?
figure('Name','A cool figure'); % create a figure and assign a unique name
allfigs = findall(0,'Type', 'figure'); % finds the handles of figures
desiredHandle = findall(allfigs, 'Name', 'A cool figure'); % finds the handles of figure with the unique name
if numel(desiredHandle)==1 % make sure its not deleted or actually is a valid handle
figure(desiredHandle(1)); % brings to front
end
