This function sorts a cell array, even if it contains character strings and numeric values (i.e. mixed). The only restriction is that it assumes that each column contains either numeric values or character strings, not both. It sorts the rows in ascending order. Note that it allows more than one column to be sorted according to the priority input by the user.

The update for the MODE functionality does not work correctly as Mathworks sort.m function does not allow cell arrays to be sorted when using the DIM argument.
