I appreciate if anyone could help me with this problem

I have a list of students , every student has a grade (numeric value)

how can i order the list of those students according to their marks ,

so that the first one in the list is the one who has the highest grade

for example (let's assume that the grades are between 0 and 20)

Alex: 19

Morgan: 12

Erik: 15

Montana:13

Molko:10

Kelsie:16

the list should be lik that

Alex Kelsie Erik Montana Morgan

Problem statement is pretty straightforward. What exactly is the issue here? Can you share what you have tried so far on this?

when it comes to order numeric values it's nor a problem but

ordering names is where i found the problem

so if it is really straightforward, please show me how

Answer 1

[Raj]

Name = {'Alex';'Morgan';'Erik';'Montana';'Molko';'Kelsie'};
Marks = [19;12;15;13;10;16];
% Create a table
InputTable = table(Name, Marks)
% Sort rows of the table
SortedTable = sortrows(InputTable, 2)
Temp_List=SortedTable(:,1)
Required_List=flip(Temp_List)

As I said, It's straighforward. Hope this helps!

Hint: Use sort().

[Abdelmalek Benaimeur]

could you please give me the command i should use because i know how to order numeric values only with this function

[madhan ravi]

Just use a cell array to contain each name and corresponding grades in each row of the cell array . Sort the grades which is in the second column. Assign the second output of sort as the row subscript for the cell array thereby sorting your cell array according to the given homework. If you are still not able to figure out, post the code that you tried to get further help.
