i grouped by each count, sorted in descending order and then used the record ID tool, which essentially assigned a "Rank" to each "Count". Then I joined the original data set and the new "Ranks" that are associated with each "Count". Then i sorted by rank ascending, filtered for ranks below 6.

Nice challenge, and more practice with the Multi Row Formula tool. Replaces the need for looped code and stored variables. Very intuitive once you get your head around it.
