In column A I have ranked people from 1 (best) down to 100 (worst) but they appear randomly.
In column B I have names of the people.

I need a formula that I can copy down for column C (which re-orders the rank numbers in column A) and column D (that reorders the names accordingly) that puts them in ascending order.

Note - some of the people may have the same rank number.

I understand that I can use the autofilter and resort in ascending order but this is impractical for what I need to do.

Thanks:confused:

If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
