Please, find the attached matlab file The first column is the x_coordinates, second column is the y coordinates, the third column and fourth column are the data I want to plot. For my data to be correctly plotted, I need to rearrange my data such that x column will be from 0-2, 0-2, 0-2 ... and the corresponding y-coordinates and other data on the previous rows will go with x to the new rows.
For example
Initial matrix
0 0.4 0.6 0.8
1.5 0.3 0.5 0.7
1.8 0.5 0.8 0.4
1 0.7 0.9 0.5
1 0.5 0.4 0.3
2 0.2 0.1 0.6
0 0.8 0.9 0.4
1.5 0.2 0.1 0.6
2 0.2 0.4 0.1
0 0.3 0.4 0.6
1.5 0.2 0.1 0.9
1.8 0.4 0.5 0.7
1.8 0.1 0.2 0.4
1 0.2 0.4 0.5
2 0.3 0.2 0.3
What I want to acheive
0 0.4 0.6 0.8
1 0.7 0.9 0.5
1.5 0.3 0.5 0.7
1.8 0.5 0.8 0.4
2 0.2 0.1 0.6
0 0.8 0.9 0.4
1 0.5 0.4 0.3
1.5 0.2 0.1 0.6
1.8 0.4 0.5 0.7
2 0.2 0.4 0.1
0 0.3 0.4 0.6
1 0.2 0.4 0.5
1.5 0.2 0.1 0.9
1.8 0.1 0.2 0.4
2 0.3 0.2 0.3
Please, I need a code that can help me to achieve this. My original data is the phi.mat attached. Thank you so much.

@SAMUEL AYINDE: why does the first line disappear from your data? You show it in the input matrix, but not in the output matrix.

@Stephen Cobeldick, It was a mistake. The first line should not be there in the first place. Thank you so much.

The simplest solution is to use sortrows. Your real data (attached) has some floating point errors which mean that values that look the same are not actually the same at all. I dealt with that using round:
>> [~,idx] = sortrows(round(phi(:,1:2)*1e4),[2,1]);
>> out = phi(idx,:);
>> out(1:100,:) % the first one hundred rows
