I want to sort the following nested list of peak points by the y values while keeping the dimensions consistent.
I then want to extract the x value of the largest and second largest y values (if the dimension is 1 then the only item of the list should be the largest but I would also like to extract it as one of the second largest group too).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
