Get Largest 2 numbers from each list

[ycai9HR9Q]

Hi Dynamo Community,

Does anyone know how to get Largest 2 numbers from each list in a group?

I’m trying to make room rectangle boundaries, want to generate a room width and length no matter what shape the room is. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

What about List.Sort and then List.TakeItems?

That’s the method I’d use. In a code block it’d be something like this:

DSCore.List.TakeItems(DSCore.List.Sort(lstOfNumbers),-2);

Try this: DSCore.List.TakeItems(DSCore.List.Sort(lstOfNumbers)@L2<1>,-2);
