Graphing an array by largest row to smallest row

I would like to graph an array, let's call it output_array, by graphing its largest (in terms of nonzero entries) row first, then graphing the next largest until the last row to graph is the smallest row.

For instance: output_array = [1,2,3; 1,2,3,4,5; 1,2,3,4];

And it would graph the second vector first, then the third vector, then the 1st vector last. Is there an easy way to do this?

Tthe output_array you mentioned will not be defined as there is a dimension mismatch, see below

y = [1,2,3; 1,2,3,4,5; 1,2,3,4]

Error using vertcat
Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent.

You can either pad them with zeros or NaNs or define a cell array.

And what exactly do you mean by graphing?

 output_array = {[1,2,3]+0; [1,2,3,4,5]+0.1; [1,2,3,4]+0.2};
 [~,ix]=sort(cellfun(@numel,output_array),'descend');
 ix=num2cell(ix(:));
 hold on
 cellfun(@(c,i)plot(c,'x-','DisplayName',"Line "+i),output_array,ix)
 legend('location','northwest')

Had to introduce an offset to avoid all points being identical...
