maxPosition -- position of the largest element

Description

i1 : maxPosition {1, 6, 4, 2, 6}

o1 = 1

i2 : R1 = QQ[x, y, z, MonomialOrder => Lex];

i3 : maxPosition {x*y^2, x*y^2 + z^2, y^4, y*z^5}

o3 = 1

i4 : R2 = QQ[x, y, z, MonomialOrder => GRevLex];

i5 : maxPosition (x*y^2, x*y^2 + z^2, y^4, y*z^5)

o5 = 3
