Sorting a correlation matrix with R-statistics

I am looking for a way to sort my matrix and find an easy way to
locate the highest 25 correlations in a matrix of 1000 by 1000
variables. I want to produce a list of the correlations, from the
strongest correlation to the weakest. E.g. if the variables are called
x1, x2, x3, .., xn, then there might be a list:

var1,var2,corr
x23,x748,0.972
x171,x21,-0.962
x555,x34,0.961
.....

I use R statistics. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you
very very much!
