How to sort a javaScript array according to his duplication count

Question

I have an array with some duplicates value. I have removed all duplicates value and get his count(repeat). Now I have to sort this data according to his count.

Example:

let duplicatis_data = ['a','a','b','b','b','c','c','c','c','d','e'];

Expected output

    c->4
    b->3
    a->2
    d->1
    e->1

There is lots of example with removing the duplicates and return the count but they did not make filter according to count. So this is not a duplicate of those questions like below.

Group them, turn the object into an array (`Object.entries()`) and sort that entry -> done — Andreas, Oct 10 '20 at 19:27
@RahulBhobe I want the count for that frequency as well as I mention the expected output. — Mannu saraswat, Oct 11 '20 at 07:35
thanks @RahulBhobe But my question is how can I sort that data? — Mannu saraswat, Oct 11 '20 at 07:51

Calculate the frequency and then sort the array based on the frequency:

let duplicatis_data = ['a','a','b','b','b','c','c','c','c','d','e'];

   
const freq = duplicatis_data.reduce((c, v) => (c[v] = (c[v] || 0) + 1, c), {});

const result = Object.entries(freq).sort((x, y) => y[1] - x[1]);

console.log(JSON.stringify(result));

I already get that result but my question is how can I sort that data? like{ "c": 4, "b": 3, "a": 2, "d": 1, "e": 1 } – Mannu saraswat Oct 11 '20 at 07:49
The new `result` is an array, and not an object. There is no notion of an "order" in an object. – Rahul Bhobe Oct 11 '20 at 07:54
That's fine. Thanks, you save my day. – Mannu saraswat Oct 11 '20 at 09:00
