Sorting the connected component

I have a question in sort of connected component. I have a binary image ( onlye 0 and 1) I run the function from matlab: f=

1   0   0   1   0   0   0   1   0   0
1   1   0   1   1   1   0   0   1   0
0   0   0   0   0   0   0   1   1   1
1   0   0   0   1   0   1   0   1   1
1   1   0   0   0   0   0   1   1   1
0   0   0   1   0   0   1   0   0   0
0   0   0   1   0   1   1   0   1   1
1   1   0   0   1   0   0   0   1   0
1   1   0   1   1   1   0   1   0   0
1   1   0   0   1   0   0   0   1   0

[L num]=bwlabel(f);

suppose that they give me the ma trix:

1   0   0   4   0   0   0   5   0   0
1   1   0   4   4   4   0   0   5   0
0   0   0   0   0   0   0   5   5   5
2   0   0   0   6   0   5   0   5   5
2   2   0   0   0   0   0   5   5   5
0   0   0   5   0   0   5   0   0   0
0   0   0   5   0   5   5   0   7   7
3   3   0   0   5   0   0   0   7   0
3   3   0   5   5   5   0   7   0   0
3   3   0   0   5   0   0   0   7   0

But you can see in this resul, the order of matrix is follow the column. Now I want to change this in to the oder rows, that mean number 4 is 2 , number 5 is 3... so on. The oder is left-> right and top -> down. How can I do that ( the oder of reading )??

Thank you so much

look at the functions flipud and fliplr.

L1=flipud(fliplr(L))

Use transpose

[L, num] = bwlabel(transpose(f)) 
L = transpose(L)
% or use the .' notation to transpose

I'm sorry It doesn't solve my problem, because if I use this way with the image:

The firt - second - third connected component is:F -S -l like this figure:

It's wrong, because I want the order of 1-2-3-... is H - a - w-a -(point of I) - (point of I) - dash-i -i -s...

[Sean de Wolski]

That's because the top of the S, L and F is higher than the lowercase letters.

You could sort the centroids of the connected components ( bwconncomp ) after calling regionprops and then reorder the output before calling labelmatrix.
