:x1, x2, x3, .., xn, then there might be a list:

I would save the correlation matrix as a file. Its columns would then be
stacked into three colums: col1 = the code of x-variable, col 2 = the
code of y-variable and col 3 = the correlation. I would read this
file into a suitable programme and do the sorting. This can be done with
SPSS and I think that should be possible with similar products.
