Identifying variables

[Barry Levine]

I have three variables - let's use A, B, and C - that contain whole 
numbers anywhere from 0 to 5; it is probably that at least two of the 
vars will contain identical numbers. I sort them descending using:

put A,B,C into theVars
sort items of theVars desending numeric


Now the three vars can be in any order. How do I know which var is now 
first in the order? In the case of two vars containing the same number, 
one of them will be first (and I don't care which so the sort order is 
fine). I have no trouble determining the contents of the var but I need 
to know the NAME of the var because other things have to happen after 
this that depend of which var is the first.

TIA,
Barry
