Python

<python>import urllib import re

def key1(x):

   return int(x.split()[0])

a = urllib.urlopen("http://www.rosettacode.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=500")

entries = [] for line in a:

   match = re.search('>([^<>]*)</a> \((\d+) members?\)', line)
   if match:
       entries.append(match.group(2) + ' - ' + match.group(1))

for c, line in enumerate(sorted(entries, key=key1, reverse=True)):

   print "%3s. %s" % (c+1, line)</python>
