## @deftypefn  {} {@var{sout} =} orderfields (@var{s1})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{sout} =} orderfields (@var{s1}, @var{s2})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{sout} =} orderfields (@var{s1}, @{@var{cellstr}@})

## Return a @emph{copy} of @var{s1} with fields arranged alphabetically, or as
## specified by the second input.
##
## Given one input struct @var{s1}, arrange field names alphabetically.
##
## If a second struct argument is given, arrange field names in @var{s1} as
## they appear in @var{s2}.  The second argument may also specify the order
## in a cell array of strings @var{cellstr}.  The second argument may also
## be a permutation vector.
##
## The optional second output argument @var{p} is the permutation vector which
## converts the original name order to the new name order.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## s = struct ("d", 4, "b", 2, "a", 1, "c", 3);
## t1 = orderfields (s)
