How can i sort an int[]?

from least to greatest,

var greatest = ints.OrderByDescending(i => i).First();

Array.Sort(ints);
Array.Reverse(ints);
int greatest = ints[0];

int max=int.MinValue;
foreach(int i in ints) if(max<i) max=i;

var greatest = ints.AsParallel().OrderByDescending(i => i).First();

BTW: that is of course what int max=ints.Largest; is supposed to do.
