Rearrange matrix elements accordi a given set of data

Hello, Maybe it's a basic and obvious problem to solve, but right now I can't get out. I would like to rearrange matrix elements according to a specified set of data in another matrix. As example, I have a mtrix of positions given by the "sort" command, let's say

a =  3     2     5
     6     1     4
     1     2     3
[b index]=sort(a,1);
index =
     3     2     3
     1     1     2
     2     3     1

Now, I would lke to use the index matrix to rearrange elements of the matrix c:

c =
     1     2     3
     2     3     4
     3     4     5

so the output should be

c =
         3     3     5
         1     2     4
         2     4     3

Is there a command to do that, or something similar? Any hint would be very appreciated.

Best regards,

Luca.

   d=cell2mat(arrayfun(@(x) c(index(:,x),x),1:size(c,2),'un',0))

%or

a =  [3    2     5
     6     1     4
     1     2     3]
[b index]=sort(a,1)
c= [ 1     2     3
     2     3     4
     3     4     5]
n=size(index,1)
index=bsxfun(@plus,index,0:n:(n-1)*n)
d=c(index)
