It is the members()'s job, that works whatever is the type of data (not 
only texts):

M   =  ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];  
Ms  =  ['Dec','Apr';'Feb','Dec';'Jun','Jul'];
[tmp,  Mn]  =  members(Ms,  M);  Mn

--> M  = 
['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
--> Ms = ['Dec','Apr';'Feb','Dec';'Jun','Jul'];
--> [tmp, Mn] = members(Ms, M); Mn
  Mn  =
    12.   4.
    2.    12.
    6.    7.
