I have a table users(id and name) and order(cost and user: FK to users).
users.name users.id
bob 1
alice 1
and
orders.user orders.cost
1 15
1 5
2 4
1 4
1 3
1 3
2 3
Here is a query which joints users and orders and sorts by order cost.
users.name users.id orders.user orders.cost
bob 1 1 15
alice 1 1 5
bob 2 2 4
alice 1 1 4
alice 1 1 3
alice 1 1 3
bob 2 2 3
If I were to do a distinct on
user (in Postgresql), I would get
users.name cost
bob 15
alice 5
I actually want the counts, while still being sorted on highest order cost/
users.name count
bob 3
alice 4

Not sure I understand, but I guess something like:
would do. Please include your query and if relevant, table definitions for future questions.
