Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to sort the elements of a matrix and 

retaining the row/col info.m Assume the matrix is: m: We first create an 

index matrix:

ind = Table[{i, j}, {i, Length[m]}, {j, Length[m[[1]]]}]

then we "join" both matrices and flatten it to a list with elements 

{number,{row,col}}:

t = MapThread[{#1, #2} &, {m, ind}, 2]

t = Flatten[t, 1]

Now we sort according to the first element of {number,{row,col}} :

Sort[t, #1[[1]] < #2[[1]] &]
