Still clear as mud. So MatrixC is a 1000 x 36 2-dimensional array (of
36,000 elements total), and C=[1:36] is a one dimensional array that
looks like [1,2,3,4,5,......34,35,36]. Then we have "MtrixC" which I
guess is that same as MatrixC (just a typo). Plus we have MatrixA,
MatrixB, A, and finally B.

But MatrixB is certain columns from C, so MatrixB must also be a 2D
array. But C is only a 1-D array (row vector) so it's columns are
only element high, so I guess that means MatrixB is actually also a 1D
row vector.

I gave up at this point.

Does this do what you want? I too had trouble understanding your question.

[ignore,p] = ismember(A,B);
matrixA = matrixB(:,B(p));

The example you posted is still too large and general to understand, I
think. Let's try this. Run the next four lines of code to generate four
variables (saving any existing variables with those names first, if you
don't want them to be overwritten)

C = 1:4;
MatrixC = reshape(1:20, 5 4);
B = [2 5 3];
MatrixB = MatrixC(:, B);

Now show us how to generate a SMALL sample A and a small sample MatrixA and
use those six variables to explain EXACTLY what you want to receive in the
end and how you want to compute it. If one of the sample variables I've
given does not satisfy the requirements of your problem, explain why not and
show us how to explicitly create a sample variable that does.

I made a mistake on that code I sent. It should have read:

[ignore,p] = ismember(A,B);
matrixA = matrixB(:,p);
