Rearranging elements in a 2D array

1 view (last 30 days)
I need some help. I have this code right now:
RandomArray= randi([-100 100],20,5);
RandomArray=sort(RandomArray)
I need to sort RandomArray so that the numbers are in ascending order as in the numbers gets larger going to the right and down the array. How do I do that?

RandomArray=sort(RandomArrayI:));
If the original sizes are desired, add this:
RandomArray = reshape(RandomArray,20,5);
If you them ascending to the right and then ascending as you go down, do this instead:
RandomArray = reshape(RandomArray,5,20).';

I think Roger made a typing mistake and it should be
RandomArray=sort(RandomArray(:));
