I haven't done this, but from my research this is the best way to do it:

I need to use Facebook Query Language to get all my friends
I need to use a programming language (maybe javascript?) to loop over all my friends to get their friends, count them, and store the count in an array with the friend name.
I need to sort my array by the count.

	You can do everything in the FQL query I think, you just need a way to join tables. – phwd♦ Dec 5 '11 at 21:28
	@phwd can you post the code for the join in an answer? That would really help me out. – David Silva Smith Dec 6 '11 at 1:25
	Programming solutions aren't really in the scope of this site. It's better to ask on facebook.stackoverflow.com. – phwd♦ Dec 10 '11 at 1:34
