Please do not post the same topic in two different threads. You’ve already opened this exact issue in your other thread here: [What is Julia's maxk(Matlab) that returns the indice of top K largest values? - #11 by platawiec](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-is-julias-maxk-matlab-that-returns-the-indice-of-top-k-largest-values/14100/11)

Duplicating a topic makes it harder for us to help you: people end up duplicating each other’s responses and the correct answer gets divided up into multiple places.
