        matsusort input_matrix output_matrix [, columns decrease
                 summary(statistic)]


Description

    matsusort by default sorts rows of input_matrix according their order by
    some numeric summary (by default, the mean of the elements in each row)
    and puts the resulting matrix into output_matrix.  input_matrix and
    output_matrix may have the same name.

    matsusort with the columns option sorts columns of input_matrix according
    their order by some numeric summary (by default, the mean of the elements
    in each column) and puts the resulting matrix into output_matrix.
    input_matrix and output_matrix may have the same name.


Options

    columns specifies that columns should be sorted, not rows as is the
        default.

    decrease specifies that rows and/or columns should be sorted in
        decreasing order of the numeric summary. The default is increasing
        order.

    summary specifies a summary statistic. The argument must be one of the
        results left behind by summarize, that is, one of N mean sum sum_w
        min max sd Var p1 p5 p10 p25 p50 p75 p90 p95 p99 skewness kurtosis.
