    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(), Collectors.counting()));

  System.out.println(result);
  
  System.out.println("Java 8 Group by a List and display the total count with sorted order.");
  Map sortedResult = new LinkedHashMap<>();

  // Sort a map and add to sortedResult
  result.entrySet().stream().sorted(Map.Entry.comparingByValue().reversed())
    .forEachOrdered(e -> sortedResult.put(e.getKey(), e.getValue()));
