awk is capable of remembering $5 from each line of input, sorting
them and picking the second smallest element from it, isn't it?

quoted

... or incrementing the number by one, before reporting, for that

Oops, please disregard.  My awk is rusty.  Unless we are willing to
rely on gawk, which we are not, it is not practical to sort inside
awk.
