Sort Data by Frequency
 

Is it possible to sort data by the frequency in which a number occurs instead
of ascending/descening? Currently I sort by a column which is currency so
that items of the same $ amt are together. I would like to have the items
that occur the most be at the top with those that occur only once at the
bottom.

Let's say your data is in A1:L289, with headers in row 1 and the amount in
question in column K. In M2 put this formula =COUNTIF($K$2:$K$289,K2) and copy
it down. Then sort with 2 keys: the first is column M, the 2nd key is column
K.
