Top Three Food Trucks Per City
Problem
A street-food festival platform records sales `revenue` for each food truck across many stops. For every `city`, find the three food trucks with the highest **total revenue**. Break ties by `truck_name` alphabetically (A first). Output four columns: `city`, `first_truck`, `second_truck`, `third_truck`. Each truck cell must read as `truck_name (total_revenue)` (for example `TacoTide (320)`). If a city has fewer than three trucks, put the text `No runner up` for a missing second place and `No third place` for a missing third place. Order the result by `city` ascending.
