No, it searches the array and returns the maximum value in it. > I guess "ListFirst(ListSort(..." would put the maximum value first in the > list? No, it doesn't touch the list except to sort it, and then return the first value in the list. If it's just three numbers, then Max(Max(a, b), c) is fine, but as the saying goes, "two is an impossible number"[1]: it's worth generalising this to cope with any number of values, which is what everybody was doing.
