Details:

The doc string says:

====
-- Function File: [S, I] = sortrows (A, C)
Sort the rows of the matrix A according to the order of the columns specified
in C.

If C is omitted, a lexicographical sort is used.  By default ascending order
is used however if elements of C are negative then the corresponding column is
sorted in descending order.
====

However, the bit about lexicographic order only makes sense for strings, and
this should be specified.
