Sorting a Cell Array based in multiple dimenssion

Dear all, I have a broblem with my Cell Array. I tried to use this function http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/dataset.sortrows.html but didn't work to me.. I have this cell array :

   YPL-320    'SMITH'        Male      38 
   GLI-532    'JOHNSON'      Male      43 
   PNI-258    'WILLIAMS'     Female    38 
   MIJ-579    'JONES'        Female    40 
   XLK-030    'BROWN'        Female    49

I would like to sort it based on 2th and 4th column:

 REV-997    'ALEXANDER'    Male      25 
 FZR-250    'HALL'         Male      25 
 LIM-480    'HILL'         Female    25 
 XUE-826    'JACKSON'      Male      25 
 SCQ-914    'JAMES'        Male      25

How can I do this?

Thanks & BRgds

Nothing about the second array is the same as the first! You don't show a sorted cell array, you show a different cell array....

@Matt: Alexis shows the first 5 lines of the unsorted and the sorted array, while she hides the other 162 lines to improve the readability of the question.

We had a serious problem with our patient database, when a participator of a long term study changed his (or her?) sex. Of course the strict specifications of a clinical double blind study do not allow to modify the software such that the one or other patient can be included. Perhaps this would explain the 'Female' to 'Male' switch in the data.

B = {   'YPL-320'    'SMITH'        'Male'      38 
   'GLI-532'    'JOHNSON'      'Male'      43 
   'PNI-258'    'WILLIAMS'     'Female'    38 
   'MIJ-579'    'JONES'        'Female'    40 
   'XLK-030'    'BROWN'        'Female'    49}

sortrows(B,[2 4])
