What do you mean by "separate"? Do you want the data sorted by hour, or sorted by month? Or something else?

Yes, I want the data sorted by hour and also sorted by month.
That is,
I want the data of each hour sorted separately such as 7.30, 8.30, 9.30, ..., 15.30 across 01-Jan-2000 to 31-Dec-2020. Also, for each time such as 7.30, l want to sort the data of each of the month separately. Thanks.

T = readtable('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/658625/SAMPLE%20DATA.xlsx');
% combine DATE and TIME columns and replace as single DateTime column
DateTime = T.DATE + T.TIME;
DateTime.Format = 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm';
T = [table(DateTime) T(:,3:end)];
% for sorting, create separate columns for year, month, and hour
T.Year = year(T.DateTime);
T.Month = month(T.DateTime);
T.Hour = hour(T.DateTime);
yearColumn = find(string(T.Properties.VariableNames) == "Year");
monthColumn = find(string(T.Properties.VariableNames) == "Month");
hourColumn = find(string(T.Properties.VariableNames) == "Hour");
% sort by month
T1 = sortrows(T, monthColumn);
% sort by hour
T2 = sortrows(T, hourColumn);
% sort by hour, separately within each year
T3 = sortrows(T, [yearColumn hourColumn]);

Thank you,the code worked.How can l convert table format to double array?

Converting to a double array is simple except for the 1st column, since the data in the 1st column are DateTime.
If you just want the numeric data, which start in the 2nd column, then
T{:,2:end}
If you want to include the DateTime information, it must be converted to a serial date number. This will do the trick:
[datenum(T.DateTime) T{:,2:end}]
