How do I modify this HeapSort method in order to make it sort Arrays containing Int numbers into sorted descending Arrays.

Currently it converts Arrays into sorted Ascending Arrays.

C#
static void Hepify(int[] arr, int index, int heapSize)
{
    int l = 2 * index + 1;
    int r = 2 * index + 2;
    int largest;

    if (l < heapSize && arr[l] > arr[index])
        largest = l;
    else
        largest = index;

    if (r < heapSize && arr[r] > arr[largest])
        largest = r;

    if (largest != index)
    {
        int tmp = arr[largest];
        arr[largest] = arr[index];
        arr[index] = tmp;
        Hepify(arr, largest, heapSize);
    }
}

static void BuildHeap(int[] arr)
{
    for (int i = arr.Length / 2; i >= 0; i--)
        Hepify(arr, i, arr.Length);
}

static void HeapSortAscending(int[] arr)
{
    BuildHeap(arr);
    int heap_size = arr.Length;
    for (int i = arr.Length - 1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        int tmpa = arr[i];
        arr[i] = arr[0];
        arr[0] = tmpa;
        heap_size--;
        Hepify(arr, 0, heap_size);
    }
}


EDIT

Got something working with the following code, still it doesn't sort it quite correctly:

C#
static void max_heapify(int[] a, int i, int n)
        {
            int j, temp;
            temp = a[i];
            j = 2 * i;
            while (j <= n)
            {
                if (j < n && a[j + 1] > a[j])
                    j = j + 1;
                if (temp > a[j])
                    break;
                else if (temp <= a[j])
                {
                    a[j / 2] = a[j];
                    j = 2 * j;
                }
            }
            a[j / 2] = temp;
            return;
        }

        static void build_maxheap(int[] a, int n)
        {
            int i;
            for (i = n / 2; i >= 1; i--)
            {
                max_heapify(a, i, n);
            }
        } 

Thank you in advance.

Why don't you just reverse the array?
Or are you requesting we provide an algorithm for you?
