按 Javascript 数组中出现的次数（计数）排序

我是 Jquery 和 Javascript 的新手。有人可以帮我根据数组中出现的次数（计数）进行 Jquery 排序吗？我尝试了各种排序方法，但没有一个有效。

我有一个 Javascript 数组，它是

allTypesArray = ["4", "4","2", "2", "2", "6", "2", "6", "6"]

// here  2 is printed four times, 6 is printed thrice, and 4 is printed twice

我需要这样的输出

newTypesArray = ["2","6","4"]

I tried

function array_count_values(e) {
var t = {}, n = "",
    r = "";
var i = function (e) {
    var t = typeof e;
    t = t.toLowerCase();
    if (t === "object") {
        t = "array"
    }
    return t
};
var s = function (e) {
    switch (typeof e) {
    case "number":
        if (Math.floor(e) !== e) {
            return
        };
    case "string":
        if (e in this && this.hasOwnProperty(e)) {
            ++this[e]
        } else {
            this[e] = 1
        }
    }
};
r = i(e);
if (r === "array") {
    for (n in e) {
        if (e.hasOwnProperty(n)) {
            s.call(t, e[n])
        }
    }
}
return t
}
6: 3
}

输出是{4: 2, 2: 6, 6:3}

我认为一步中没有直接的解决方案，当然它不仅仅是一种排序（排序不会删除元素）。实现此目的的一种方法是构建对象的中间映射来存储计数：

var allTypesArray = ["4", "4","2", "2", "2", "6", "2", "6", "6"];
var s = allTypesArray.reduce(function(m,v){
  m[v] = (m[v]||0)+1; return m;
}, {}); // builds {2: 4, 4: 2, 6: 3} 
var a = [];
for (k in s) a.push({k:k,n:s[k]});
// now we have [{"k":"2","n":4},{"k":"4","n":2},{"k":"6","n":3}] 
a.sort(function(a,b){ return b.n-a.n });
a = a.map(function(a) { return a.k });

请注意，这里不需要 jQuery。当您不操作 DOM 时，您很少需要它。
