Is there an efficient implementation of 'sort | uniq -c | sort -n'? I
have a 4 GB core file I want to run 'strings' on, and the above is

I would suggest that the appropriate factorisation would be

countitems | sort -n

Here, countitems could be "sort" with some options or "uniq" with some
options...
