Thread Subject: sort data for big value and highest hits

I have a histogram data set A

Col 1 = hits
Col 2 = value


A = [

  118.7300 0.0168
    6.9800 0.0503
    1.6400 0.1845
    1.7900 0.2181
    2.1800 0.2516
    7.7900 0.2852
   31.5700 0.3187
   2.1800 0.2516

]

The answer is value=0.3187 (second last row) which I want to extract form this data set A.
It is based on following constraint


The valve should be bigger that 0.1 and should have highest or second highest hits.

How can I extract this ?
thanks

Try to understand the following line of code

find (A(:,1) == max (A(:,1)))

by using

help find
help max
help eq
help colon
