Is it possible to sort a struct? I want to sort the third column.
0 should be in the first row and the highest value at the end (last row). The other values are not important and should be the same ranking.
Thank you.

Yes, you can.....read about sort. It depends how your structure is.

T = struct2table( parameter.list); % convert the struct array to a table
sortedT = sortrows(T, 'value'); % sort the table by value
sortedS = table2struct(sortedT) % change it back to str
%it works but i just want to sort the lowest and highest value (rows)

You can try like this.
% a = somestruct;
[~,index] = sortrows([a.Var3].');
a = a(index);
