The most common order is 60, with a(33) = 4199961633799421952 elements, or about 9.71% of the group.
The least common order (excluding 1) is 11, with a(11) = 44590694400 elements, or about 0.0000001% of the group. Elements of order 11 are rare because they cannot affect the corner pieces of the cube.
