How to sort a multiset in a container by the number of occurrences of elements

I want the elements to be sorted by the number of cases. This is what I came up with (mHeights - std :: multiset):

namespace{
  template<class U,class T>
  class HistPair{
    public:
      HistPair(U count,T const& el):mEl(el),mNumber(count){      
      }
      T const&  getElement()const{return mEl;}

      U getCount()const{return mNumber;}
    private:
      T mEl;
      U mNumber;
  };

  template<class U,class T>
  bool operator <(HistPair<U,T> const& left,HistPair<U,T> const& right){
    return left.getCount()< right.getCount();
  }
}

std::vector<HistPair<int,double>  > calcFrequentHeights(){
  typedef HistPair<int,double> HeightEl;
  typedef std::vector<HistPair<int,double>  > Histogram;
  std::set<double> unique(mHeights.begin(),mHeights.end());
  Histogram res;
  boostForeach(double el, unique) {
    res.push_back(HeightEl(el,mHeights.count(el)));    
  }
  std::sort(res.begin(),res.end());
  std::reverse(res.begin(),res.end()); 
  return res;
}

So, first I take all the unique elements from the multiset, then I count them and sort them into a new container (I need counts, so I use a map). It looks rather complicated for such an easy task. Besides HistPair, which is used in other places, there is no stl algorithm that would simplify this task, for example. using equal_range or sth. So.

Edit: I also need the number of occurrences, sorry I forgot about that
