Getting Data In

Help with filtering results

I have results that look like the following

dest_ip, dest_port, protocol, cve_id, score

192.168.1.1, 80, tcp, 2009-1234, 8.5
192.168.1.1, 80, tcp, 2007-6543, 9
192.168.1.1, 80, tcp, 2004-8435, 6

If I want to return the result for each dest_ip/dest_port combination that has the highest score, how do I do that? I've tried using sort and dedup to sort the fields by score (descending) and then dedup the results, but it isn't working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx.
