Creating a reverse ordered array

I am currently trying to create an array and display it reverse or descending order. It currently displays a list of numbers but sometimes it does not follow the correct descending order. I believe the issues is in the if statement in between the two for loops, each time I am comparing a random number between 1-101 with the first number in your array. Instead of doing it that way, How can I compare the numbers in the array with each other? Or any suggestion in proving my reverse order array generator?

CODE

namespace reverseArray
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        long operations = 0;
        int size;
        int max;
        int[] createArray;
        int[] sortArray;
        int[] copyArray;

public void ReverseOrder()
        {
            size = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSize.Text);
            max = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxMax.Text);
            createArray = new int[size];
            copyArray = new int[size];
            sortArray = new int[size];

            createArray[size - 1] = 1;

            for (int i = size - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                createArray[i - 1] = createArray[i] + r.Next(1, max);
            }

            for (int i = size - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (r.Next(1, 101) < createArray[0])
                {
                    for (int x = size - 1; x > 0; x--)
                    {
                        createArray[x] = r.Next(1, createArray[0]);
                    }
                }
            }

        }


private void buttonCreateArray_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

ReverseOrder();

}

}

}

Use LINQ

using System.Linq;

namespace reverseArray
{
        public partial class Form1 : Form
        {
            public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
            long operations = 0;
            int size;
            int max;
            int[] createArray;
            int[] orderedArray;
            int[] orderedByDescendingArray;    

            public int[] CreateArray(int size, int max)
            {
                var result = new int[size];
                Random r = new Random();
                for(int i; i<size; i++)
                {
                   result[i] = r.Next(max);
                }
                return result;
            }


            private void buttonCreateArray_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                size = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxSize.Text);
                max = Convert.ToInt32(textBoxMax.Text);

                createArray = CreateArray(size, max);
                orderedArray = array.OrderBy(a => a);
                orderedByDescendingArray = array.OrderByDescending(a => a);        
           }
      }
}

//P.S. Code may contain errors coz I typed it directly here.

no need to use logic to create reverse order array. In C# has default method to reverse it. so used that and you can get output ..

        string fullOrder= Console.ReadLine();
        char[] charArray= fullOrder.ToCharArray();
        Array.Reverse(charArray);
        Console.WriteLine(charArray);
        Console.ReadLine();
