Dear All,
	Is there any simple way to way to produce "rank", for a given
list, but in a descending order?

	E.G: 	
		x	= list(a=c(1,5,2,4));
		rank(x$a);	produces 1,4,2,3 

	However I am looking for a way to generate (4,1,3,2). 

	It would be particularly nice if the proposed solution has all
the niceties of rank function (like NA handling and ties.method
functionality) 


TIA

Manoj
