Sorting a structure using Matlab2018

Hi

I want to sort this structure in descensind order using MATLAB 2018:

ten.cat=[7,2,4,1].

I used the following commands but it is still not sorted:

pp_1=ten;

TT = struct2table(pp_1) % convert to tables

gg=sortrows(TT,'cat') % sort

sortedpp_1 = table2struct(gg) % convert the table back to structure.

please, help

What is your question and with which problem can we help you? What exactly is not sorted?

Why not sorting it by:

ten.cat = [7,2,4,1];
ten.cat = sort(ten.cat)

@Jan, this should go as an answer as I see no way of improving on that with the information given.

@shamsuddeen, there's never any need to convert a structure to anything in order to operate on it. Certainly, converting a structure into a table and back is a complete waste of time for your purpose. In this case, the fact that ten is a structure is completely irrelevant anyway, you're not sorting a structure, but just one field of a scalar structure which is the same as any non-structure variable.

ten.cat = [7,2,4,1];
ten.cat = sort(ten.cat)

Hi,

Adjusting:

ten.cat=[7,2,4,1]

to:

ten.cat=[7;2;4;1]

gives what I think is the sought after results.
