Sample case, the real one contaiins thousands of records with multiple companies and I just want the top 5 or N number of recors.

COMPANY USER
COMP_A gbuske
COMP_A gcaldog
COMP_A kdubell
COMP_A lboldiz
COMP_A rgronb
COMP_A rbal
COMP_A abnuk
COMP_B jwald
COMP_B halab
COMP_B abnuk1
COMP_B abnuk2
COMP_B abnuk3
COMP_B abnuksal
COMP_B abnukall
COMP_B abnuktrd

Looking to get the 5 top records for each company the expected result should be:

COMPANY USER
COMP_A gbuske
COMP_A gcaldog
COMP_A kdubell
COMP_A lboldiz
COMP_A rgronb
COMP_B jwald
COMP_B halab
COMP_B abnuk1
COMP_B abnuk2
COMP_B abnuk3
