Find positions of the largest value in a list:

Get lists of positions for the three largest values:

Find positions of the two largest values in an association:

PositionLargest works with arbitrary numeric values:

PositionLargest can work with orderings of non-numeric data:

PositionLargest uses numeric ordering by default:

Instead use canonical ordering:

PositionLargest works on lists of Quantity expressions:

PositionLargest works on lists of DateObject expressions:

Find positions of the largest elements in a random list:

Compare to results using Position and Max :

PositionLargest gives positions of all the largest elements:

TakeLargest will only give as many element positions as are requested:

One must specify the count of maximal elements to get all positions corresponding to the largest element using TakeLargest :

Find positions of the largest elements in a random list:

One can use Ordering once the number of largest elements is known:

Find positions of the largest elements in a random list:

FindPeaks locates positions of all local maximal values:

When you remove all peak positions that do not correspond to the global maximum value, you lose positions if there happen to be consecutive peaks:

If fewer than the requested count of largest values are present, PositionLargest will give as many as are present:

If the elements are not comparable, PositionLargest will not evaluate:
