THIS IS WHAT I DID.


my_groceries = ['apple', 'banana', 'banana', 'orange', 'banana', 'apple', 'beet', 'carrot', 'ginger', 'kale', 'ginger', 'ginger', 'kale', 'ginger']
Final_List = []
DICT = {}
x=0

for element in my_groceries:
if element in DICT:
DICT[element]+=1
else:
DICT[element]=1

for item in DICT:
Final_List.append((item, DICT[item]))

while x<len(Final_List):

for product in range(0, len(Final_List)-1):
if Final_List[product][1] > Final_List[product+1][1]:
pass
else:
temp = Final_List[product]
Final_List[product] = Final_List[product+1]
Final_List[product+1] = temp
x += 1

print(Final_List)

In the case of object(string) type pandas.series, .value_counts() would do the same but it gives out a dataframe which respect to each class within the category but this will save a lot of time. Thanks Qazi :D
