SELECT group  COUNT    FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY group   or to order by the count  SELECT group  COUNT    AS count FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY count DESC

Try    SELECT count    group FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY group   to order by count descending do   SELECT count    group FROM table GROUP BY group ORDER BY count    DESC   This will group the results by the group column returning the group and the count and will return the order in group order

none of the other answers seem to do what the asker asked   For table named  things  with column  group    SELECT   things    counter count FROM   things LEFT JOIN     SELECT     things group  count things group  as count   FROM     things   GROUP BY     things group   counter ON counter group   things group ORDER BY   counter count ASC    which gives   id   name    group   count  --------------------------- 3    Cat     B       1 1    Apple   A       2 2    Boy     A       2 4    Dog     C       3 5    Elep    C       3 6    Fish    C       3

You need to aggregate the data first  this can be done using the GROUP BY clause   SELECT Group  COUNT    FROM table GROUP BY Group ORDER BY COUNT    DESC   The DESC keyword allows you to show the highest count first  ORDER BY by default orders in ascending order which would show the lowest count first

Below gives me opposite of what you have   Notice Group column   SELECT       FROM     myTable GROUP BY     Group value      ID ORDER BY     count Group value    Let me know if this is fine with you     I am trying to get what you want too
