Sort column by amount of same content cells
Use column E as a helper column, with a formula like:
=COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A1) This assumes you have 100 rows of data - adjust to suit and copy this down. Then you can sort the range A1:E100, using column E as the sort key. Afterwards, you can delete column E. Hope this helps.
