How to sort values and strings

I have a data set with several variables, their sizes are all (10000, 1), i.e., 10000 rows and 1 column.
Stations are strings, but depths and other variables are numerical values. I want to sort all of them according to depth. How should I achieve this?
Thank you

Stations={'a';'b';'c'}
depth=[1;3;2]
height=[3;1;2]
v=[Stations num2cell([depth height])]
sortrows(v,2) % depth is in the second column
