    autosort formula

    hi all,
    (I hope my english is good enough to make an understandable post)
    I have a question and I just cant figure out the answer myself.
    Ive made a worksheet for a soccer poule EC 2012.
    Everything is working fine, score are calculated correctly etc.

    Theres just one little tiny thing I cant figure out.
    There are several worksheets.
    worksheet 1 is all competitors, their results and their scores.

    Now in worksheet 2 ive made a scorelist, pretty simple, just refers to worksheet 1, only in a nice overseight. just 2 rows, row 1 name, row 2 score all refering to worksheet 1.
    Works good, no problems so far.
    But what I want is that I can autosort from z to a in row 2 (scores). So the number 1 is first, number 2 second etc.
    Of course I can change it myself every time, but I want it automatically to be changed as soon as worksheet 1 changes.

    example:
    I fill in results of matches in sheet 1, as a result of that the score changes and "mark" had now 80 points and "george" 81
    In sheet 2 the scores change, but mark with 80 points is still the first mentioned.

    Hope I made myself clear and I really hope someone can help me here, since its making me crazy :P

    Thx in advance

    Re: autosort formula

    maybe I should make it simpler.

    sheet a:
    row 1 till 27 = Name
    row 2 till 27 = result (number)

    sheet b:

    column A = row 1 from sheet 1
    column B = row 2 from sheet 1

    just copy/paste only better for overview

    How can I autisort column B from high to low (highest result first) (column A; names should change too)
    Manually its easy; sort 2 columns click on number and z->a
    But what I want is that automatically the person with the highest score is in the top of the list (name = a1 and result = a2)

    Close to perfect!
    When 2 persons have the same score there occurs a little problem.
    We see two times the name "Antidote" instead of "Antidote" and "Herbert"
