Subject: sort elements

Hello, I'm newbie so I apologize if my question it's stupid. I want to
write a program that counts how many times a word appears in a text.
This is my code:

a = 'Apple car caR house tree ice ice ice house'
b = a.downcase.split(' ')
b.uniq.each do |element|
  puts "#{b.count(element)}\t#{element}"
end


But this code produces this:

1  apple
2  car
2  house
1  tree
3  ice


and I want something like this:

3  ice
2  car
2  house
1  apple
1  tree

Any ideas?
