Default locating the top 5 number (in a col)


Hi,
I have two columns, A and B:
Column A: contains 3 types - Apple, Banana and Carrot
Column B: contains numbers

I want to summarize the data and find out the top 2 number of each
type. e.g.
Column A Column B
A 12
B 34
C 23
A 51
B 92
C 73
C 7
A 287
B 1
A 62
C 9

Part of the result would be:
A 287
62
B 92
34

how can I do that? please let me know. Thanks.
