How can I sort numbers from largest to smallest in an array?

Question

I was able to sort the numbers in the matrix from smallest to largest, but I could not sort them from largest to smallest. please help...

int[] list = new int[4];

System.out.println("Enter the numbers of array: ");
for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++)
    list[i] = kbd.nextInt();

for (int index = 0; index < list.length; index++) {
    int minIndex = index;
    for (int i = index + 1; i < list.length; i++) {
        if (list[i] < list[minIndex])
            minIndex = i;
    }
    int temp = list[index];
    list[index] = list[minIndex];
    list[minIndex] = temp;
}

System.out.println("Numbers after sorting: ");
for (int j : list) System.out.print(j + " ");

Your method is fine. No need to change it except below. All you need to do is reverse the condition of the sort. See the comment in the following code segment.

for (int i = index + 1; i < list.length; i++) {
    if (list[i] < list[minIndex]) // change < to >
        minIndex = i;
}
