Here's one way to do it
1. Name your list FullList.
2. Filter the list to another column on the sheet, checking the 'unique
values only' box.
3. Name this new list ShortList
4. Next to ShortList, have a column using the FREQUENCY function,
picking up the value next to it inShortList and counting instances in
FullList
5. Next to the FREQUENCY column, have a new column using the RANK
function to determine their relative order
6. Now sort FullList, ordering in ascending order by RANK
If you want to limit your rankings to the top 50 only, then instead of 5
and 6 you could create a new table using the LARGE funtion 50 times.
Hope this gets you going.
