Please do not ask the same question multiple time. It's a waste of our effort.

I am giving an example to explain.
clc
clear
load patients
T = table(Gender,Age,Height,Weight,Smoker,Systolic,Diastolic);
If you wish to sort Age out of table, then use
sort(T.Age,'ascend');
Attach you .mat file to get more clarification.

it works fine
It may appear that it does and it may give you the correct result under some circumstances. In the majority of cases, it will give a completely wrong result because sort is the wrong function to use as it will sort each column separately.
I gave you the correct solution in your other identical question, b.t.w. You should read the comments to the question there as well. Until you learn to work properly with graphs, you will run into this sort of problems.
