How to sort list by size of group by?

viggor
Path Finder

I have a query of the form

'stats list(body) AS events BY id

Which gives me for example:

id body
1 jack
2 foo
  bar
  joe
3 sun
  moon

I would like this to be sorted according to the size of each group, i.e., the output should be

    id body
    2 foo
      bar
      joe
    3 sun
      moon
    1 jack

How would I achieve this?

Try like this

your base search | stats list(body) AS events BY id | eval t=mvcount(events) | sort -t | fields -t

Nice thanks, should the last part of your query maybe be sort -t | table id events -t ?
