Please help with using accumarray to choose the max value of the array

I have a matrix, for an example with 11 x 3.
CH BA OL
10.0000 10.0000 0.6000
10.0000 11.0000 0.4000
11.0000 9.0000 0.6000
11.0000 10.0000 0.2000
11.0000 11.0000 0.2000
25.0000 44.0000 0.1000
25.0000 9.0000 0.7000
25.0000 45.0000 0.2000
27.0000 44.0000 0.2000
27.0000 46.0000 0.3000
27.0000 9.0000 0.5000
I'm trying to take unique values for column CH, and each unique value in CH should sort the maximum value's BA. For example, final results should be like
CH BA OL
10 10 0.6
11 9 0.6
25 9 0.7
27 46 0.5
I was trying accumarray but I couldnt get the correct answer. Please help

Can you recheck the output matrix? Whether you want the minimum or maximum value from the column BA?
I want to sort by OL, but I need the corresponding BA. So, it max value of OL corresponding to CH 10 is 0.6, the output should have at the end CH 10, BA 10 with OL 0.6. Thank you!
In that case, last row should be 27 9 0.5

% matrix = 11 x 3
ch = matrix(:,1);
[u,~,ic] = unique(ch);
maxba = accumarray(ic,matrix(:,2),[],@max);
out = [u maxba];
i = ismember(matrix(:,1:2),out,'rows');
out = matrix(i,:);

Thank you so much for guidance. Well I wanted to sort through col 3. I sorted it out anyhow following this. Thanks again!

Try this
M = [10.0000 10.0000 0.6000
10.0000 11.0000 0.4000
11.0000 9.0000 0.6000
11.0000 10.0000 0.2000
11.0000 11.0000 0.2000
25.0000 44.0000 0.1000
25.0000 9.0000 0.7000
25.0000 45.0000 0.2000
27.0000 44.0000 0.2000
27.0000 46.0000 0.3000
27.0000 9.0000 0.5000];
[~,idx] = sort(M(:,3));
M = M(idx,:);
[~,idx] = sort(M(:,1));
M = M(idx,:);
result = splitapply(@(x) x(end,:), M, findgroups(M(:,1)));
