How do I limit the number of results in a table?

I'm working with a freeform table that has the number of visits and average view time of pages from a segment our site. I want to know the pages that have the longest average view time for only the top 25 most visited articles. How do I limit the number of results based on one of the metrics and then sort by a different metric?
Thanks

You can use an if statement and the percentile function to do something like 'if pageviews > 99th percentile, then average view time, else 0'.  Then if you sort the table by view time, it will effectively only sort those above the 99% criteria, everything is will be zero.

I found a way to do this by downloading a Report. I created a pages report with the average view time and visits metrics. I set the report to order by visits and set the "show" value to 25, then downloaded the report as an Excel file. In Excel, I ordered the results by average view time.

Wish there were a way to do this solely in Adobe Analytics, but this worked fine.
