First, please send such question to the MathGroup,

mathgroup at smc.vnet.net

not me personally. (I really have desire, tiem or ability to replace 
the enitre MathGroup.)
So I have decided to post this question to the MathGroup in case 
someone else finds it interesting.

Also, there is something about this question and the earlier you sent 
me that make sme suspicious.  What do you say "you need to use 
recursion and pattern matching, Select and Join"? This sounds to me 
like some sort of test problem so I have decided to answer it but 
without using any of these functions (although it may not be the 
simplest way to do this). So here is my answer:

  ls = {9, 2, 10, 3, 14, 9};

Reverse[Last[Last[Reap[NestWhile[With[{a = First[Ordering[#, -1]]}, 
Sow[#[[a]]]; Take[#, a - 1]] &,ls,Length[#] > 0 &]]]]]

{9, 10, 14}
