If you cant explain then how can you expect answer....

I would use variant attributes. The key will be the name and the data will be your count, with a default value of zero. Do "get variant attribute, increase the count, then set variant attribute

[GregFreeman · Accepted solution]

Here, I drew up a quick example of what I mentioned above.

ya its working... but,I need output data are sorted manner.... from max to min......

[Ranjeet_Singh]

Use sort 1D array.

[GregFreeman]

Use index and bundle cluster array. Then sort. Then reverse the output array.

When you sort an array of clusters, it sorts by the first element. That is why you can do this because the numbers get sorted, and the name comes along for the ride. But this will sort least to greatest, so the reverse of the array makes it greatest to least.

Actually, Ranjeet, there is value to asking an unformed question.  People can then ask more questions to help the user define their problem.  In fact, that's the way it happens in I'd say a majority of posts here.

In fact, I think the example given did a fine job of explaining, even though the words may not have. Sometimes I wish more people would post inputs and desired output, so I don't have to try and interpret what they are saying in the first place. Often times the more words there are just increase the chances of saying something contradictory when trying to explain the problem which leaves us at square one.
