Please have a look at the Data Provider feature. Being kind of experimental
it's not yet included in the UI, you have to add the commands via Tools >
Customize. The DP allows you to filter and manipulate data before loading into
the sheet - and if you connect to the same source it's just an update later.

Summary from the last GSoC project is here:

Back to the actual request: Enhancing the sort function with count sounds like
a can of worms to me. Why not Sum()? And UX wise it adds quite some complexity
where average user wrap their mind around what "Sort Ascending by Count" could
mean.

So my take would be to rather write a macro. Shouldn't be too difficult. If the
DP is not helpful...
