A bowler is judged by his ability to get the wicket of the top-order batsman of any opponent team he plays against. It is easier to get the wickets of tail-enders. And a bowler in a test match-be it a spinner or fast, is always a force to reckon with.

Nice question. But things depend on how does one define "top-order".
If top-order means Batsmen #1, 2 and 3, the below are the results:
Glenn D McGrath: 219 wickets
C. Walsh: 177 wickets
Kapil Dev: 175 wickets
Muralitharan: 166 wickets
R. Hadlee: 158 wickets
Shane Warne: 158 wickets
Anil Kumble: 150 wickets
Obviously, we have fast bowlers higher on the list as spinners don't usually have a crack at opening batsmen.
Just in case top-order would be defined as Batsmen from #1 to #7, here is the list of top wicket takers in tests:
Muralitharan: 455 wickets
Shane Warne: 432 wickets
Glenn D McGrath: 408 wickets
Anil Kumble: 365 wickets
C. Walsh: 356 wickets
Kapil Dev: 311 wickets
R. Hadlee: 302 wickets
