we would like to do is order the hosts in the order of most packets
transmitted.

Try using the Statistics->Endpoint List menu; it has several options for different types of endpoints (link-layer, IPX, IPv4, and IP-address-plus-TCP port and IP-address-plus-UDP-port). By default I think it's sorted by packets transmitted.
