I figure since there are various ways to sort information in SQL, there must
be some way to sort the most frequent bit of information.  Example:

SELECT term FROM table ORDER BY mostfrequent(term)

And say you had this as the table

ID      TERM
1       a
2       a
3       f
4       z
5       a
6       i
7       i
8       z
9       z
10      a

It would return:

a
a
a
a
z
z
z
i
i
f

It there a fuction like that availble built into MySQL?
