How to get top 10 stats with pivot command without using sort?

Hi all,

How can I get a top 10 statistic with pivot? Currently I'm doing something like

| pivot MyModel MyObject count(MyObject) AS count SPLITROW myseries | sort 10 - count 

I'd like to avoid the sort somehow.

Thanks,
Simon

This is the same as my search does.
I asked if there's a way to get the top10 statistics directly with the pivot command.
