Only one verification test!? and this test already has the vector sorted.

Needs (much) more tests in the Test Suite!! It would also be a good idea to include a randomly generated vector in the tests; for this random input, testing of the correct function output should be hard-coded as: assert(y(1)>=y(2)); assert(y(2)>=y(3)); ... ; assert(y(end-1)>=y(end)); [It's not the most efficient check, but anything else will risk giving away clues on possible solution codes.]

Every time again, it's pretty amazing, to see what powerfull little functions are implemented in Matlab!

You can do this with one function call. See the mode flag in sort().
