I set the output format to Text and then converted the count into text and wrote this as key and the aWord as value. I was expecting an output sorted on the count now but it didn't work that way ? Could anyone explain why so ? reducer output - <000001, abc> <000005, xyz> <000002, pqr> thanks, Taran > thanks, > Taran >
