Besides the solution to my problem provided by The Mathworks, I have
received a much simpler one from Wladimir Shukowsky in Brazil.
If the required order is p = [2,5,4,6,3,1] he suggests simply

C2 = C(p,p)

This works! so does the solution provided by The MathWorks, but I cannot
understand why! Can anyone explain why, and why such a complicated
solution was given when such a simple one works! (please, I am not
ungrateful here, just wondering if there is some deeper reason I have missed)
