How can I sort data in increasing order

I have been given this data
I want to classify the length in each row as either the shortest(S), longest(L), or other (P or Q) so i can use this equation S+L=P+Q
Here is my code so far.

In the future, please don't post an image of your code. We can't work with that if we want to try out your code, and would need to retype it all.
Instead, use the CODE button to format code text, or upload an m-file with the code.
Thank you for the input. I will be sure to do this in the future.
@JAKE WISNIEWSKI, Why can't you do it now? All I can suggest is to use sort() or sortrows(). And I'm not sure I buy this equation
S+L=P+Q
What makes you think it will be true? For example for one row where the L's are [6,2,7,9] you have
2 + 9 = 6 + 7
or
11 = 13
which is obviously not true.

Use sort() that sorts in an ascending order and then take the indexes that will be used for the others, OR put in a table using array2table() and sort them in order.
