Do you mean a vector? If so, head/tail will work for you:
> x <- runif(10)
> x
[1] 0.26550866 0.37212390 0.57285336 0.90820779 0.20168193 0.89838968
0.94467527
[8] 0.66079779 0.62911404 0.06178627
> # lowest 5
> head(sort(x), 5)
[1] 0.06178627 0.20168193 0.26550866 0.37212390 0.57285336
> # highest 5
> tail(sort(x), 5)
[1] 0.6291140 0.6607978 0.8983897 0.9082078 0.9446753
