Sort the matrix in ascending order

I want to sort the matrix in ascending order

Original matrix

 im1_std1 =

   70.7293   55.2429
   66.5829   65.4434
   57.9615   69.1739
   66.0494   70.9296

but the result is

 >> sort(im1_std1,'ascend')

 ans =

   57.9615   55.2429
   66.0494   65.4434
   66.5829   69.1739
   70.7293   70.9296

I want a code to get result like this

 ans=
 55.2429  57.9615 
 65.4434  66.0494
 66.5829  69.1739
 70.7293  70.9296

Thanks in advance

reshape(sort(im1_std1(:)), size(im1_std1)

[Guillaume]

Actually,

reshape(sort(im1_std1(:)), fliplr(size(im1_std1))).'

Note to Riya Augustine, why are you storing it as a matrix when a) neither columns nor rows have any meaning since numbers can move between any of them b) you're using the opposite convention to matlab (where order goes down rows first, then column). Why not store it all in a single vector and avoid all this dimension swapping.

There is an infinite number of procedures to convert your input to the shown output. If you explain the meaning of the wnated operation, suggestion an answer will not demand bold guessing.

Perhaps you want:

s1     = sort(im1_std1, 1, 'ascend');
result = sort(s1, 2, 'ascend');
