Getting cetral weighted value in an Array

Hi there,
Suppose I have an Array
a = [0 0 1 1 1 2 3 5 6 7 7 99 100]
It's median value is 3 for sure, but center weighted value is 5 as if we assign weights to the array, then the weight matrix become
weight_a = [1 1 2 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 9]
whose center weight is 5. Is there any efficient way in Matlab to find the center weight? one way is to use unique function which discards duplicate values and give you an array with unique element, from that unique array, median value is the center weighted. But unique function is time consuming if you apply tic toc to it.
So is there any other way to find center weighted element.

a1 = sort(a(:));
out = median(a1([true;diff(a1)~=0]));
ADD
a1 = sort(a(:));
ii = find([true;diff(a1)~=0]);
i2 = ceil(numel(ii)/2);
out = a1(ii(i2));
or
i1 = unique(a);
out = i1(ceil(numel(i1)/2));
