I can't code it for you, but I can guide you. That way you understand what you code.
First Step:
Learn to read a file as shown here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php
Second Step:
Read the file and just print it to a screen for now and see if it works.
Third Step:
If you just need to sort by the first number, the Number Execs column you posted above, just use sort
http://us.php.net/sort
if You are sorting by another number, then extract your column by some delimiter, in your case a space is a good delimiter it looks like.
How do you do it?! easy, php has a function for that:
http://php.net/explode
So for each line of the file, (which now you have in an array by using the file() function), you iterate and explode each item in that array.
If you're taking the third number to sort, you take the third item from the result of the explode and store it in another array.
Take that final array and use sort() or rsort() function then take the first five items.
If you're still lost, attempt the code, tell us where you're lost and we'll show you the next step.
Happy Coding!
