I have a column of words. Is there a way

I can sort these to find the most frequent

word, followed by the next and so on?

Try this.

Words in A1:A21.
Formula in B1: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$21,A1) and pull down.
Select both Col A and Col B.
Under Data Tab Sort & Filter Sort (the box, not the A-Z w/arrow) Sort By: Column B Sort On: = Values Order: Largest to Smallest OK.
