Assume matrix A as follows:
A = [
12 4 5 4 3 4 2
12 3 1 6 1 8 10
12 5 10 3 9 1 9
14 6 5 4 5 6 5
14 8 4 7 3 7 10
16 1 5 3 6 3 6
16 6 4 9 8 5 6
98 4 10 1 5 7 9
98 8 8 4 6 1 9
98 5 3 6 10 3 3
98 3 2 6 5 5 9
];
I want to group by matrix A based on the unique ID (first column) and row numbers. For example, looking at first column of matrix A, there are four unique IDs (12,14,16,98). So, for output matrix A1, I want every first row from these unique ID to add in matrix A1. For output A2, the second row, and so on.

One way to split into those groups, although it does not preserve the row order, is to use accumarray:
>> [~,~,idx] = unique(A(:,1));
>> C = accumarray(idx,ones(size(idx)),[],@(v){cumsum(v)});
>> D = accumarray(vertcat(C{:}),(1:size(A,1)).',[],@(r){A(r,:)});
>> D = cellfun(@sortrows,D,'uni',0);
>> D{:}
ans =
12 4 5 4 3 4 2
14 6 5 4 5 6 5
16 1 5 3 6 3 6
98 4 10 1 5 7 9
ans =
12 3 1 6 1 8 10
14 8 4 7 3 7 10
16 6 4 9 8 5 6
98 8 8 4 6 1 9
ans =
12 5 10 3 9 1 9
98 5 3 6 10 3 3
ans =
98 3 2 6 5 5 9
