update mock up

The parens don't add anything IMHO...  the ellipsis can do dual duty: indicate
truncation and separate the value & count.
I chose the sample counts because that's the type of data we're dealing with...

> Question is if such pre-processing is cheap or has serious impact on performance.

In my python scripts, adding additional counts within loops is virtually
unnoticeable...  e.g., 
    try:    COUNTS[value] += 1
    except: COUNTS.update( { value: 1 } )

[v]All   3046 [v] [x]
would indicate the number of values -- a LONG list (e.g., 3046) is realistic;
with the relatively tiny window, scrolling through such a long list is why
adding a sort capability would help...  While sort would be great, the counts
are the main idea.  

In this mock up, I added a way to sort the list, and was struggling with how to
represent this idea in the event it's accepted -- here's an idea:
^ = ascending counts
x = default sort of values
v = descending counts
although the UI code may not allow such granularity...

Thanks for considering...
