              Item Group:                    None => Feature Request        
                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix

Follow-up Comment #2:

This is a feature request. The documentation of *eig* states clear:

"The eigenvalues returned by eig are not ordered."

https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Basic-Matrix-Functions.html#Basic-Matrix-Functions

There might be performance reasons for this, as eigenvalues in Octave are
computed via BLAS- or Suitesparse-routines. Matlab doen't order them, maybe
because of similar reasons, too.

A very quick and uncomplicated way to archive the desired behavior is: 


E = sort (eig (rand (5)))
