Sorting a m x n matrix

I have an M x N array for example ;

[1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9]

and i want to sort it into the format where the first three values become the first column,then 4 5 6 are the second column etc. So it will output

[1 4 7; 2 5 8; 3 6 9]

Is there a function that can do this, or how should I approach this?
