in thread for each unique value in a column find the max value..need perl script

That's a bit hard to follow. I count seven captions (headers),
order mtime no size id day date,
but even hypothesizing that the dot in the second field,
14098703993 154538.354300 200 1 101510,
denotes a field break, I can only find six fields.

7==6 does not compute.
