Thanks, John. This looks to me that it will sort alphabetically, not
by commonness. For instance:
ERROR b
ERROR a
ERROR b
Since "ERROR b" was reported more often than "ERROR a", I would prefer
that the output be:
ERROR b
ERROR a
I'm sorry for not making that so clear! Is there a good word for "most
common" or "used most often" that would be concise in this context?
Thanks!
