Can you sort by most to least often recurring number in Excel?

I know there is a Mode formula to find the most often recurring number, but
can I build on that and sort the list to have the most often recurring number
at the top and least often at the bottom and vice versa?

Just use a "helper" column:

If your values are in A1 thru A100, then in B1 enter:

=COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A1) and copy down

Then sort the pair of columns by column B descending

Thank you Gary''s Student!! I was using a helper column, but the =log
formula, and I couldn't quite get it right. This is great! Thanks!!
