A similar question has already been answered here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/86608-how-to-sort-an-array-in-descending-order

[Arif Istiak Abeg]

B = sort(___,direction) returns sorted elements of A in the order specified by direction using any of the previous syntaxes. 'ascend' indicates ascending order (the default) and 'descend' indicates descending order.

use Ans=sort(A,descend);

Answer 1

[Arif Istiak Abeg]

Use the following code :

A=[12,8,15,6,26];

Ans = sort(A)

Note that it is not going to sort the array descending as asked. A small tweak to this answer would do it, the OP can find what it is by looking up the documentation of sort.

Of course, I suspect that this is a homework question and that the OP is supposed to use a loop, not the sort function.

See how do I get help on homework question. Don't expect us to do your homework for you if you show no effort.

Hope it will work :

A= [12,8,15,6,26];

z=numel(A);

for c=1:z

for k=c+1:z

if A(c)<A(k)

x=A(c );

A( c) =A(k);

A(k)=x;

end

end

end

Not Working ! :(

[Arif Istiak Abeg]

use z=max(size(A))

instead of z=numel(A);

[Guillaume]

For a vector, max(size(A)) and numel(A) are identical. For arrays of any size, max(size(A)) is length(A).

I would recommend that you let the OP figure out the solution to their homework themselves.
