Practice Problem Help

Im doing the beginner practice problems from this site. Im doing the arrays. I did all of it but need help doing the four star part. I can get the list from greatest to least, but cant put the Person who ate that amount. I tried and couldnt figure it out, so i just put the list together without name which person. Here is the practice problem i need help with.

" Write a program that asks the user to enter the number of pancakes eaten for breakfast by 10 different people (Person 1, Person 2, ..., Person 10)
Once the data has been entered the program must analyze the data and output which person ate the most pancakes for breakfast.

★ Modify the program so that it also outputs which person ate the least number of pancakes for breakfast.

★★★★ Modify the program so that it outputs a list in order of number of pancakes eaten of all 10 people.
i.e.
Person 4: ate 10 pancakes
Person 3: ate 7 pancakes
Person 8: ate 4 pancakes
...
Person 5: ate 0 pancakes "

here is my code.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


void MAXminPancakesEATIN (int array[], int size);
int FINDhighestELEMENT (int array[], int size, int index);

void displayARRAY (int array[], int size)
{
    cout << "Here is the list of pancakes eatin from greatest to least." << endl;
    cout << "\n";
    cout << "{";
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
        // if pass first element, add a comma
        {
            if (i != 0)
                {
                    cout << ",";
                }
        cout << array[i];
        }
        cout << "}";

}

void swap (int array [], int first_index, int second_index)
{
    int temp = array [first_index];
    array[first_index] = array [second_index];
    array [second_index] = temp;


}

void insertion_sort (int array[], int size)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
    {
    int index = FINDhighestELEMENT (array, size, i);
    swap(array, i, index);
    }

}

int main()
{
    int person = 1;
    int num_pancakes_people_ate [10];
    cout << "Enter the number of pancakes that each person ate." << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        {
            cin >> num_pancakes_people_ate[i];
            cout << "Person number " << person << " ate " << num_pancakes_people_ate [i] << " pancakes." << endl;
            cout << "\n";
            ++person;
        }

    cout << "\n";

    MAXminPancakesEATIN(num_pancakes_people_ate, 10);
    cout << "\n";

    insertion_sort(num_pancakes_people_ate,10);
    displayARRAY(num_pancakes_people_ate, 10);
}

void MAXminPancakesEATIN(int array[], int size)
{
    int highest_person = 1;
    int least_person = 1;
    int max = array[0];
    int min = array[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {

            if (array[i] > max)
                {
                    max = array[i];

                }
            if (array[i] < min)
                {
                    min = array[i];
                }
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j)
        {
            if (array[j] == max)
                {
                    break;
                }
            else
                {
                ++highest_person;
                }
        }

    cout << "\n";
    cout << "Person " << highest_person << " ate the most pancakes." << endl;

        for (int x = 0; x < size; ++x)
        {
            if (array[x] == min)
                {
                    break;
                }
            else
                {
                    ++least_person;
                }
        }

    cout << "\n";
    cout << "Person " << least_person << " ate the least pancakes." << endl;

}


int FINDhighestELEMENT (int array[], int size, int index)
{
    int highest_value = index;
    for (int i = index + 1; i < size; ++i)
        {
            if (array [i] > array [highest_value])
                {
                    highest_value = i;
                }
        }
    return highest_value;
}
