[R] rank in descending order?

Hi, Is there any simple solution to get ranks in descending order? Example, a - c(10, 98, 98, 98, 99, 100) r - rank(a, ties.method=average) produces 1 3 3 3 5 6 I would want this instead: 6 5 3 3 3 1 Note that reversing r doesn't work but in small examples. Thanks, -Jose -- [EMAIL
