Default How to look for the minimum value for MODE?

Sort your list in the reverse order, and then invoke the MODE function.

Do you have any suggestion on how to return the last value for mode?
Thank for any suggestions?

Hi,

Returning the highest value isn't the default for mode, in the event of a
tie it returns the first value for mode. So to get the lowest sort your
list
in ascending order.

There is a list of numbers
210,210,209,209,209,208,,207,207,207
I would like to look for the minimum value for the high frequency of
occurrence.
In this case, 209 has 3 occurrences and 207 has 3 occurrences., if I
use
MODE function, then it will return the maximum as default [209], but I
would
like to return the minimum [207].
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank for any suggestions
