Retrieving locations of element of a vector or matrix

I think that you can use:

x <- sample(1:20, 10)
head(sort(x), 5) #First 5 minimum values
head(sort(x, decreasing = TRUE), 5) #First 5 maximum values
Hello all,
  I have a problem of getting the locations of elements in a vector or matrix. I know one can use the command "which.min" or which.max" to get the location of minimum or maximum values in a vector. But is there any command to get the first k minimum values or maximum values in a vector.
  Thanks
