I need to sort the words in their frequency order from most frequent word to the least frequent. If two words have the same frequency they are sorted in alphabetical order. I'm not sure how to do the insert method that combines all the things I have to do. I've made attempts to do the add count part and the frequency ordering part, and I have no idea how to sort the same frequencies alphabetically. Any help would be appreciated.
