Simple implementation of quicksort algorithm in Matlab. It's O(N log N) but the only optimisation is that the pivot point is the central element (to prevent pathological behaviour on sorted input). It takes a C-style comparison function. If the vector to sort is a cell array, the comparison function works on cell contents. Any type of data can be sorted, as long as you can write a comparator for it.
