This syntax looks funny to me. Are you really using Microsoft SQL Server?

That sounds doable. It would be something like
SELECT wg_nmae, COUNT(*)
FROM ...
GROUP BY wg_name
ORDER BY 2
But since I don't know exactly how this Keywords.wgk_keyword works,
and I'm uncertain that you are using MS SQL Server, I refrain from a
complete answer.
