I have a backlog of tasks for the team. The product owner prioritizes them by dragging them up and down. I want to set up the daily kanban board in a way that it shows

- tasks assigned to someone
- top 5 unassigned tasks

To solve this, I’d need two things. First, [rank in formulas](https://community.fibery.io/t/using-rank-in-formulas/951), and second, a function like `first(array, n)`. None of them exist now.

I don’t think rank in formulas will ever be implemented (for a variety of technical reasons) but the ability to limit (filter) to a specific number of entities in a given view, is definitely a nice idea.
