    Cool Need help ranking data

    So my data looks kind of like this:

    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
    Cat Brown 99
    Cat Black 33
    Cat Orange 55
    Bird Yellow 66
    Bird Green 77
    Dog Black 88
    Dog White 22

    I need a formula, to put in column four, that will rank each of the categories based on the value in column A. So for instance, the formula in Column 4 Row 1 would detect that it is the highest ranked cat, and would then return the associated value: Brown. Column 4 Row 2 would find the second highest ranked cat, and return the value associated with it: Orange. Column 4 Row 3 would detect the next highest ranked cat, and return the associated value: Black. Row 4 would sense that the value in Column 1 had changed, and would start over, then returning the highest ranked bird, and then the second, and then the dogs. So, the final column would look like this;

    Brown
    Orange
    Black
    Green
    Yellow
    Black
    White

    If anybody needs me to clarify I can. I'm very grateful for any help.

    Maybe like this (with an pivot table).
