I have the following output (see visual below SAS code) and I want to select the Top 5 obs for each manager. Can someone advise how to solve for this? 

proc sql; create table DSNP_Agents1_Chart as  
select distinct
a.county,
sum(a.mbr_end_inv) as Total,
a.Broker_Manager
From DSNP_Agents1 a
group by county, Broker_manager
order by Total desc 
;quit;

proc sort data=DSNP_Agents1_Chart; 
by Broker_manager;
run;
