Hi,
I have a matrix like this:
  Name                       Size              Bytes  Class 
data                    3653x24            6436668  cell                

The first column has integers, the second one names (strings), the third one and the fourth one have dates (in string format), and all the other ones have just numbers. I want to sort the matrix by the alphabetical order of the column of names (second column), and then by dates (third column), and then the seventh column.

What should I do?

Kaori
