How to get the max value index and the next max value index and next until the end (the smallest) of the array

3 views (last 30 days)
For example if A Vector
A=[5.2,6.3,1.2,10,2,4.3];
I want to get the index of the max value (in my example is 10 so the index is 4) then find the next max value which is 6.3 then the index is 2,,, the final output i need it to be as follows:
I=[3,2,6,1,5,4]
where I the returned indices corresponding to A

I solved this problem, so I will share it with you:
function [ mapped] = mapping( x )
for i = 1:length(x)
[~,j]=max(x);
mapped(j)=i;
x(j)=-inf;
end
end

Thanks for your interest, but A randomly changes in an iteration, is always do this step?
and why this happens?

"[D,I] = sort(A) also returns a sort index I which specifies how the
elements of A were rearranged to obtain the sorted output D:"
>> [D,I]=sort(A)
D =
1.2000 2.0000 4.3000 5.2000 6.3000 10.0000
I =
3 5 6 1 2 4 % indices of orginal values
