As I've mentioned, the widget system isn't a complete tookkit or replacement for more conventional tools like javascript, or maybe SQL.
In this case, the only tool we have for getting counts is the count[] filter. But when you use count[], it's disassociated from the thing that it is counting. You just get a number. And you get it one at a time, so you can't sort the various counts. I guess, if you had a list of all possible count results reverse sorted (e.g. 5,4, 3,2,1) then you could filter for max possible count. It depends how open-ended you want your system to be. I think if it was me I would make an "update" button that does the counting for each fruit and then stores the number, either in a tiddler for each fruit or maybe in a data dictionary. After that it becomes easy to list the fruits the way you want. Some people seem to take umbrage at the suggestion of a pre-processor for "reports", but it sure solves a lot of problems when it comes to TW and widgets.
