How to sort events by number of occurances?

I'm trying to do

"[Simple text search]" | top limit=50 count

To so the 50 highest occurrences of my search for which ever time resolution I'm search by.

This gives me

Error in 'top' command: The output count field conflicts with the input field 'count'. Use the 'countfield' option to specify a different name.

"[Simple text search]" | timechart count

gave me what I wanted. Lacking the limit, but that's fine for me.
