It is on my todo list to fix that and submit a patch upstream to add CSV output as well as default sort by COUNT DESC ...

I am not sure that this is a good idea to implement "sort" in uniq, as a "| sort -rn" will do the job, and sort is really good at...hum sorting.
Also, you can build a csv output quite easily (you will find many examples with sed).

I believe commands should remain simple.
