Order all the rows based on one row.

Hi!
I´ve searching for an answer but I didn´t find any, and before programming a super inefficient function I just wanted to be sure that there weren´t any prebuilt function to do this. So the question is:
How do you sort all the rows of a matrix based on one specific row. For example, based on the first row:
LENGTH =
723 1081 860
1 2 3
Sorted:
LENGTH =
723 860 1081
1 3 2
Thank you in advance!

Use the sortrows() command.
You are actually sorting columns, so you will need to transpose your array, then sort, then transpose back:
sorted_L = sortrows(L',1)'
