Prof Ripley referred you to the help pages for sort and order for the sorting 
part of your question.  For viewing large data objects look at View (note 
capitol V), head, tail, page, and write.csv/write.table.

Hope this helps,

> Hello,
>
> I have been using the TM package to create a TermDocMatrix, which I
> have saved as a matrix so that I can view word frequencies.  Below is
> a section of the code that I have used and an excerpt of the output:
> What I wanted to be able to do is to view the output alphabetically -
> rather than the results being sorted by frequency as below, that an
> alphabetical list would be generated. This would be quite long as the
> matrix is 176 x 2796, so I was hoping I could save the output in a
> csv file, which could be manipulated either in R or EXCEL.

> Any advice as to how I could do this is appreciated,
