Congrats after I see that... it works :-p

.

Seriously now: Thank You Hamish!!
Kindest regards, Nikos

P.S. I overdid it with ideas below... :D
---

I am testing... (after the compilation completes). Even before testing I
dould like to drop-in my idea about the output, that is "be more close
to the _standards_ (=e.g. the books present the results)".

   * Present first the variance (=eigenvalues) because it's the first
thing you will look at to know "how much variance of the original data
is _expressed_ in each new component.

   * The importance, since it refers to the eigenvalue, it's better to
come right after it.

   * Present the loadings (eigenvectors) for each new component.

   * Column-wise or row-wise? The results can be either presented
column-wise, that is one column for each new component  _or_  row-wise,
as they are currently printed. I think row-wise just looks better :-)

"Some" examples... (only 2 for column-wise and all the rest row-wise...
playing around).
