Sort slice on number of occurrences of a value





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

Please see this playground. I have a slice with some data. Now I want to sort this slice, but not on a value inside one of the values, but I want to sort it on the number of occurrences of one of the values.



Unfortunately I don't have a clue how to fix this. Can someone please point me to the right direction?



I know I can do this:



sort.Slice(messages, func(i, j int) bool {
return messages[i].SupplierID < messages[j].SupplierID
})


This will sort the slice, but it will start with the "higest" supplierID. but what I want is to sort on the number of occurrences: the ones with the lease number of supplierIDs first.

          Iterate over the slice, populate a map of occurrences, then sort the slice based on the number of occurrences:



          supplierCounts := make(map[int]int)
          for _, msg := range messages {
          supplierCounts[msg.SupplierID]++
          }

          sort.Slice(messages, func(i, j int) bool {
          return supplierCounts[messages[i].SupplierID] < supplierCounts[messages[j].SupplierID]
          })
