The order of the results actually matters for the Word Count exercise about c HOT 4 CLOSED

I can update the tests to use the stdlib qsort. We just need a custom sort function for the struct with text/string and number of occurrences. That shouldn't be too bad to implement. TBH I just wanted to see some traction on the issue before doing the work. I'll try to open a PR tonight.

Can confirm that the check function the tests use has a simple loop that implicitly expects the same order the expected output is given in.

Option could either be to sort both the result and expected results to some same ordering, or just to improve this loop to not expect any order.

Sorry about the delay. I'll try to look at any feedback on #932 as soon as possible. Thankfully this is a rather small PR.
