How do I combine 2 arrays into one but in a specific order.

I need to combine 2 arrays: one contains even values and one containes odd values. How do I go about doing this? I attempted to do a while loop and place the values in but i cant seem to set it up right. Any help would be great :)

temp_even = [9.2 9.0 6.8 5.9 7.2 9.2 10.9 10.6 10.3 8.2 8.8 7.5];
temp_odd = [9.6 7.7 6.0 4.3 8.9 10.2 10.6 10.7 8.6 8.0 7.1 7.5];

Do you mean just combining them in a simple manner? Then you can use

res= horzcat(temp_even,temp_odd)

and then just use sort using

sort(res,'ascend') 
%or this sort(res, 'descend')

Or is it something else you want to do? If you want to place one even number one odd number as you traverse the array then you may have to use loop, check each element and place one by one in a third array. This is what I would do but I don't know if there is any smart way to do it.

I need them in that specific order alternating between the even and odd values I tried using a loop but it didnt work, could you give an example?

temp_odd = [9.6 7.7 6.0 4.3 8.9 10.2 10.6 10.7 8.6 8.0 7.1 7.5];
temp_even = [9.2 9.0 6.8 5.9 7.2 9.2 10.9 10.6 10.3 8.2 8.8 7.5];

result=reshape( [temp_odd;temp_even], 1,[])

result = 1×24

9.6000 9.2000 7.7000 9.0000 6.0000 6.8000 4.3000 5.9000 8.9000 7.2000 10.2000 9.2000 10.6000 10.9000 10.7000 10.6000 8.6000 10.3000 8.0000 8.2000 7.1000 8.8000 7.5000 7.5000
