priority level is var1 then var2 then var3

What does your desired output look like?
A look-ahead seems to be the method to solve the problem. Explained here: http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings10/103-2010.pdf
If that is the case then do
data have;
input id var1 var2 var3;
datalines;
1 10 5 24
2 20 7 32
3 30 20 62
4 30 30 98
5 30 30 63
6 40 45 21
7 40 75 33
8 50 60 90
;
proc sort data=have;
by var1-var3;
run;
