Sort and display top 5 values alone

I am trying to display the top 5 memory used values by command - Meaning the top 5 commands with maximum usage, but I seem to be unable to get the output. Here is my search:

index=os sourcetype=ps host=xyz  | eval RSZ_MB=RSZ_KB/1024| stats max(RSZ_MB) as "Memory_Used" by COMMAND | sort -Memory_Used | top 5

Thanks,
Sushmitha
