This is my list



Matrix = 1, -2, 3, -4, a, b, f, e, a, b, f, e


I want to order the columns in ascending order depending on the values on the first row. I Expect something like



-4, -2, 1, 3, f, e, f, e, a, b, a, b


I've tried the Sort function, but it just returns the initial value

    • Yes... in my personal code I changed the name because we must never use an upper-case letter to start the name of a variable, lest it conflict with internal definitions. Thanks. Solution amended.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
