In a SQL statement you can use something like this:
select id count(*)  from sales group by id order by 2 desc....

But I have an Array that I want to do the same with.
The contens of the Array is like this:

ITEMS

2006.41
2006.40
2006.40
2006.40
2006.41
2006.41
2006.40
2006.47
2006.40
2006.45
2006.42
2006.41
2006.41
2006.41
2006.43
2006.41
2006.41
2006.43
2006.41
2006.41

And I want a out outprint like this; (ist going to be used in a chart later on)

ITEMS  COUNT

2006.40  5  
2006.41  10
2006.42  1
2006.43  2
2006.45  1
2006.47  1

Is there any simple way?

Thx Bruno

the best way i found is put them in the arraylist then loop the arralyist to get same object count

Hi,
Or can you take advantage of HashTable, add them into a hashtable, and its value keeps its count.

Hashtable ht = new HashTable();
foreach(object o in array)
{
      if( ht.Contains(o))
                  { int temp = (int)ht[o]; temp ++; ht[o] = temp;}
      else
                ht.Add(o,1);
}
Then loop through the ht to get each item's count.
Hope it helps.
