Hi,
I need to sort my array, notSorted.mat, by datetimes as strings. The code I use for this is the following:
[~, idx] = sort(datenum(notSorted(:,2), 'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm'), 1, 'ascend');
sorted = notSorted(idx,:);
However, this does not work. Some values are still not correctly sorted. Does anybody know what went wrong?

Convert to and sort the table:
T = sortrows(cell2table(HR_date_time_strings),2)

The code runs fine with R2020b. What release are you working with?

It works now, somehow my MATLAB decided that after restarting it worked again...
Thanks!
