## Return the unique elements of @var{x}, sorted in ascending order.
## If the input @var{x} is a vector then the output is also a vector with the
## same orientation (row or column) as the input.  For a matrix input the
## output is always a column vector.  @var{x} may also be a cell array of
## strings.
##
## If the optional argument @code{"rows"} is supplied, return the unique
## rows of @var{x}, sorted in ascending order.
##
## If requested, return index vectors @var{i} and @var{j} such that
## @code{x(i)==y} and @code{y(j)==x}.
##
## Additionally, if @var{i} is a requested output then one of @code{"first"} or
## @code{"last"} may be given as an input.  If @code{"last"} is specified,
## return the highest possible indices in @var{i}, otherwise, if @code{"first"}
## is specified, return the lowest.  The default is @code{"last"}.
