I have a column of words. Is there a way
I can sort these to find the most frequent
word, followed by the next and so on?

Try this.

Words in A1:A21.
Formula in B1: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$21,A1) and pull down.
Select both Col A and Col B.
Under Data Tab > Sort & Filter > Sort (the box, not the A-Z w/arrow) > Sort By: Column B > Sort On: = Values > Order: Largest to Smallest > OK.
