This could be done with an array but a very simple solution (from a coding
standpoint) that can work with any number of variables uses a couple
Transposes , a sort. and a merge.

data a;
input ID V1 V2 V3 V4 V5;
cards;
11 5 4 7 3 2
22 3 3 4 2 1
run;

proc transpose data = a out = b;
var v: ;
by id;
run;

proc sort data = b;
by id descending col1;
run;

Proc Transpose data = b( drop = col1 ) out = b ( drop = _:) Prefix = T;
var _name_;
by id;
run;

Data newa;
merge a b;
by id;
run;
