C# LINQ return counter array indices max to min

Question

A newbie with C# and LINQ. I have an array which is essentially a counted sequence.

{1,3,5,2,7,2}

I am trying to write a query that returns list of indices with highest values in descending order:

4,2,1,3,5,0

I can get the maximum index with this query below, but I can't seem to work out how to get the next indexes in sequence with a single query.

int index = array.ToList().IndexOf(array.Max());

Answer 1

This works:

var list = new [] {1,3,5,2,7,2};

var indices =
    list
        .Select((n, i) => new { n, i })
        .OrderByDescending(x => x.n)
        .Select(x => x.i)
        .ToArray();

Answer 2

You can use Select :-

var result = numbers.Select((v, i) => new { Value = v, Index = i })
                                .OrderByDescending(x => x.Value)
                                .Select(x => x.Index).ToArray();

Working Fiddle .
