How can I delete the duplicate rows in cell based on a particular column?

The input is:

A={[1 2 3] [2 3] [1 2 3];[2 5 8] [3 4] [1 2 3];[2 5 4]  [2 3] [1 2 3];[1 2 5] [3 4] [1 2 3]};

based on the duplication in the 2nd column,the output will be:

B={[2 5 4]  [2 3] [1 2 3];[1 2 5] [3 4] [1 2 3]};

How can I do that?

How do you know which of the duplicates to keep? Why couldn't you keep the first two rows instead of the last two?

That's really not matter for my case. I just want to delete the duplicate rows based on the 2nd column.

This assumes the second column always contains vectors of the same length, and also that you want to keep only the last occurence.

[~,idx]=unique(cell2mat(A(:,2)),'rows','last');
B=A(idx,:);
