Shifting column of a matrix with maximum sum to the right?

After using a for loop to calculate the sum in each column of the matrix; how can I move the column with largest sum to the right of the matrix? I used:
for i = i: b
sum_col(i)=sum(B(:, i));
end
[I,M]=max(sum_col);
C=A(:,2);
A(:,2)=A(:,I);
A(:,I)=C;

>> M = randi(9,4,7) % fake data
M =
9 5 5 1 6 9 4
3 5 8 9 1 5 2
2 1 7 8 7 4 9
7 2 8 5 2 3 5
>> sum(M,1) % sum of each column
ans =
21 13 28 23 16 21 20
>> [~,X] = max(sum(M,1)); % max column sum.
>> M = M(:,[1:X-1,X+1:end,X]) % rearrange
M =
9 5 1 6 9 4 5
3 5 9 1 5 2 8
2 1 8 7 4 9 7
7 2 5 2 3 5 8
>> sum(M,1) % check
ans =
21 13 23 16 21 20 28

no need of loops and no need to rearrange - JUST SWAP!
>> a=rand(4)
[~,X]=(max((sum(a))))
a(:,[X end])=a(:,[end X])
a =
0.2501 0.5916 0.5017 0.6008
0.9277 0.2033 0.6508 0.1125
0.0686 0.6359 0.7960 0.5158
0.2994 0.7984 0.2334 0.8378
X =
2
a =
0.2501 0.6008 0.5017 0.5916
0.9277 0.1125 0.6508 0.2033
0.0686 0.5158 0.7960 0.6359
0.2994 0.8378 0.2334 0.7984

Note that this changes the order of the other columns, which may or may not be acceptable.
