How do I get top values based on eval?

I have a relatively simple query with which I am evaluating a new field. I'd like to get the top values of this new field however the results are not what I expect:

Base Query:
index=lisum_data vendord=*  user_hash=* featurename=*  
| stats count by user_hash
| eval TimeUsed=count*10/60
| where TimeUsed > .5
| sort TimeUsed desc
| fields - count

Attempted:
index=lisum_data vendord=*  user_hash=* featurename=*  
| stats count by user_hash
| eval TimeUsed=count*10/60
| where TimeUsed > .5
| sort TimeUsed desc
| fields - count
| top limit=25 TimeUsed

I want a table of the top 25 users (user_hash) by total time used(TimeUsed)

Hey !
You were really closed, try that :

index=lisum_data vendord=*  user_hash=* featurename=*  
 | stats count by user_hash
 | eval TimeUsed=count*10/60
 | where TimeUsed > .5
 | sort 25 -TimeUsed
 | fields - count

Let me know 🙂

Your sort command should be sort 0 - TimeUsed
