Hello, Hopefully someone can give me a few pointers on how to impliment this, i'm not sure if its a jquery only or some sort of jquery / standard javascript hybrid solution that is needed.
I'm looking to grab a set of 10 to 20 names from a XML file, and then sort them based on the number of times the occur in the XML file. So say i have <xml> <name>John</name> <name>Smith</name> <name>Jones</name> <name>Doe</name> <name>Jones</name> <name>Smith</name> <name>Jones</name> </xml> I want to pull these names into an object / array then sort them by number of occurrences on a page. They would output on the page like so.. Jones(3) Smith(2) Doe(1) John(1) Now i have managed to pull the names in fine, and created an array of all the names, i'm just a little unsure on what to do next with the sorting issue, and how to do this. Any input on the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 1man
