I have a set of categorical variables
A = {'NY','Boston'}
How can one sort A to B as
B = {'Boston','NY'}
I tried sort but does not work.

This is very sruprising that sort doesn't work for you (I'm wondering how is this even possible).
A = {'NY', 'Boston'};
sort(A)
1×2 cell array
{'Boston'} {'NY'}

As Ive Ive suggested: the sort function will do what you need:
B = categorical({'NY','Boston'});
sort(B)
