Use LINQ.
list = list.OrderByDescending(x => x).toList();
Then write a method to get a distinct list such as:
public static IEnumerable<TSource> DistinctBy<TSource,TKey>
(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector)
{
HashSet<tkey> seenKeys = new HashSet<tkey>();
foreach (TSource element in source)
{
if (seenKeys.Add(keySelector(element)))
{
yield return element;
}
}
}
Then the first max will be list[0], the second will be list[1] e.t.c.
