Hi Ren,
Use individual columns and append them. For the sample code you provided, it can be done as below:
a = [1 0 2 0 2 3;
5 4 4 0 1 4;
4 2 2 4 2 2;
1 1 0 4 3 1];
a1 = a(:,1:2:end); % Select the odd numbered columns
a2 = a(:,2:2:end); % Select the even numbered columns
[a1(:) a2(:)] % Append them
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sriram

Hi Madhan,
I wasn't aware that there was another answer provided by the time i answered it. Looking at your answer now, yes, both are equivalent. Mine has some additional comments.
If i knew that this is already answered, i wouldn't have answered it at all. I think we both looked at the same time, but my answer publish went late by couple of mins.
Sorry for any trouble here. I didn't do anything intentional. I am even ok, if you wanted yours to be an accepted answer, as you mentioned early enough. My answer has just some additional comments.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Sriram

No problem Sriram ;). By the way I think concatenate could be used instead of append I believe. Append is something which is used for adding something at the end of already existing variable/array.

Thank you very much for the code, after spending sometime understanding it, I believe this gives even more flexibility on how to rearrange the matrix, now with this code, I can easily reshape it N columns by N columns, which in my case is exactly what I will need to do next. So again thank you so much

First = matrix(:, 1:2:end);
Second = matrix(:, 2:2:end);
Wanted = [First(:), Second(:)]

You want a reshape? Here is reshape method:
B = reshape(permute(reshape(A,size(A,1),2,[]),[1 3 2]),[],2)
