Question

I’m running a query
select * from transactions which gives me the recordsets

ppno ---------name---------------amnt
1309 ---------Rajasekar----------12000
1210 ---------Mani     ----------21000
1309 ---------Sank     ----------90012
1100 ---------still    ----------12232
1309 ---------Jack     ----------23344

I want to group the resultset by number of occurrences of the same ppno and sort it based on the number of occurrences. For example, I want something like this.

ppno ---------name---------------amnt
1309 ---------Rajasekar----------12000
1309 ---------Sank     ----------90012
1309 ---------Jack     ----------23344
1210 ---------Mani     ----------21000    
1100 ---------still    ----------12232
