Dear Gundala,
Try this:
# Data set
DF=read.table(textConnection("300.35 200.25 104.30
22.00 31.12 89.99
444.50 22.10 43.00
22.10 200.55 66.77"),header=FALSE,sep="")
# Variances
VAR=apply(DF,1,var)
# Order
pos=order(VAR)
# Print VAR and pos
VAR
pos
# ordered VAR
VAR[pos]
# top-2 highest VAR
VAR[pos][3:4]
HTH,
Jorge
