Default Calculating Difference between ranked values within random range

Good afternoon...

I am looking for a formula that will calculate the difference between consecutive values of random values within a range. I have a range of 10 values
(j2:j11) and they are in random order this order can change randomly. I need to subtract ranked (ordered) value 9 from ranked value 10, 8 from 9, 7
from 8, etc. (and return negative values - see desired outcome)

Range Desired Descending
Value Outcome Rank
3271 -400 9
3735 -85 7
4217 -38 2
3270 -1 10
4255 4255 1
3671 -64 8
4158 -59 3
3859 -115 5
3974 -184 4
3820 -39 6

I have used =max, =count and =rank commands - yet I am not getting my anticipated outcome.

Any help would be appreciated. TIA
