Problem 38. Return a list sorted by number of occurrences

Created by Cody Team

Solve Later

Given a vector x, return a vector y of the unique values in x sorted by the number of occurrences in x.

Ties are resolved by a sort from lowest to highest.

So if

 x = [1 2 2 2 3 3 7 7 93]

then

 y = [2 3 7 1 93]

The behavior of accumarray has changed. In R2012b, I used I = accumarray(I.', 1); and it worked. I had to remove the transpose to pass the test suite.
