orderfields

Reorder fields of a structure.

Syntax

s = orderfields(s)
s = orderfields(s1, s2)
s = orderfields(s, order)

Description

Returns s with its fields reordered. With one argument, sorts alphabetically. With a second order argument (a cell array of field names or a permutation vector), uses the specified order. With a struct s2 argument, matches s2’s field order.

Examples

s.b = 1; s.a = 2; s.c = 3;
orderfields(s)           % fields now a, b, c
orderfields(s, {'c', 'a', 'b'})
