# Grabs the third field ($3) in a file, counts how many times that field occurs and outputs it in numeric order.
# This is pretty much the equivalent to a sql statement like the following:
# SELECT COUNT(*) as ROWS, `Third field` FROM `file` GROUP BY `Third field` ORDER BY `ROWS` ASC
awk '{ x[$3]++ } END { for (i in x) print x[i] ":" i }' file |sort -n
