I'm currently making a few tests with std.algorithm, std.range, etc

I have a arry of words. Is it possible to count how often each word is contained in the array and then sort the array by the count of the individual words by chaining ranges? (e.g. without using a foreach
loop + hashmap)?

If you don't mind sorting twice:

words.sort()
    .group()
    .array()
    .sort!((a, b)=> a[1] > b[1])
    .map!(a => a[0])
    .copy(words);

You could also do it with a hashmap to keep the count.

Like so:

    size_t[string] dic;
    words.map!((w) { ++dic[w.idup]; return w; })
         .array // eager (so dic is filled first), sortable
.sort!((a, b) { bool less = dic[a] > dic[b]; return less ||
less && a < b; })
         .uniq
         .copy(words);

It's a bit ugly and abuses side effects with the hash map. The order will differ from the other program when words have identical counts.

I figured something like this by now too. Thank you.
But I don't quite understand what the copy is for at the end?

Just replacing your original word list with the sorted list (which I just realized is wrong because it will leave a bunch of words on the end, oops). You could .array it instead to get a new array or just store the range with auto and consume that where needed with no extra array allocation.
