Hi,

I searched through the archives a bit and could not come up with a direct
answer to this. How can I sort my output based on the value portion of the
key/value pair from reduce? For example, the word count sample would be
sorted in descending order with the word having the highest count appearing
first, instead of alphabetical order of the key as it occurs now. Sorry if
this is trivial detail that I am missing!
