Documented in sortByNRepeated

#' Make a list of common occurances sorted by number of repeats  
#'
#' The aim of this function is to count the number of occurances of words when comaring separate vectors (\code{x}, \code{y} and \code{z}) or from a list (given as \code{x})
#' and to give an output sorted by their frequency.
#' The output lists the various values/words by their frequency, the names of the resulting list-elements indicate number of times the values/words were found repeated.	
#' 
#' @details
#' 
#' In order to compare the frquency of values/words between separate vectors or vectors within a list, it is necessary that these have been made unique before calling this function or using \code{filterIntraRep=TRUE}. 
#' 
#' In case the input is given as list (in \code{x}), there is no restriction to the number of vectors to be compared. 
#' With very long lists, however, the computational effort incerases (like it does when using \code{table})
#' 
#' @param x (list, character or integer) main input, if list, arguments \code{y} and \code{z} will not be used 
#' @param y (character or integer) supplemental vector to comare with \code{x} 
#' @param z (character or integer) supplemental vector to comare with \code{x} 
#' @param filterIntraRep (logical) allow making vectors \code{x}, \code{y} and \code{z} unique before comparing (defaults to \code{TRUE})  
#' @param silent (logical) suppress messages
#' @param debug (logical) additional messages for debugging 
#' @param callFrom (character) allow easier tracking of messages produced
#' @return This function returns a list sorted by number of occurances. The names of the list indicate the number of repeats.
