1Example 1
Input
orderIds = [3, 5, 1, 4, 2]
Output
[4, 2, 5, 3, 1]
Explanation
If we iterate over [3, 5, 1, 4, 2], the order IDs that can be considered in this first pass is 5 and 4. In this case, remove 4 because it's the order ID with the smallest value. The result of the removal looks like this: [3, 5, 1, 2]

Continue on from there until the list is empty
