How to replace minimum values in the vector with 1 and replace others value plus one

I have a vector A

A = [2; 1; 4; 1; 3; 3; 1; 1];

In this vector I want to find maximum and put the value to 1

[B,I] = sort(A,'descend') ;
B = [4; 3;  3;  2;  1;  1;  1;  1] 

B      new_B
----------------
4 ---> 1

For other values, we should have previous value+1

B      new_B
 ---------------
 4 ---> 1
 3 ---> 1+1=2= previous value+1
 3 ---> 1+1=2
 2 ---> 2+1=3= previous value+1
 1 ---> 3+1=4= previous value+1
 1 ---> 3+1=4
 1 ---> 3+1=4
 1 ---> 3+1=4

If we consider vector A the result should be:

 result = [3; 4; 1; 4; 2; 2; 4 ; 4]
 
 2--->3        2 should replace with 3
 1--->4        1 should replace with 4
 4--->1        4 should replace with 1

This might be too specific to your example, but a much simpler transform that gets what you want is

A = [2; 1; 4; 1; 3; 3; 1; 1];
result = max(A) + 1 - A

result = 8×1

3 4 1 4 2 2 4 4
