Is it possible to output the options from a select list whilst also counting how many posts have that option selected?

For example, let’s say you have a select list with options:

Orange
Apple
Melon
Grape

We want to output a list that shows something like this:

Orange – 2
Apple – 6
Melon – 7
Grape – 0

Taking this one step further is it also possible to sort the output by the counts, so the above would be:

Melon – 7
Apple – 6
Orange – 2
Grape – 0
