Hi!

I have a table like this


names
···
john
peter
mary
peter
john
peter
mike
mary
mary
mary
···

I want to get a list ordered by the number of times the name appears in the
table, in the example:

mary
peter
john
mike

How I can do this?...thanks a lot for the answers

*** note: I don´t know wich are the names in the table, are changing all the
time ***
