Default Sort Columns


I have two columns of figures. My objective is to select the highest figure in
adjacent cells from the two columns and award points 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 to the top
five in the remaining column. What is the best way to tackle this? Example below.

Column A Column B
53 42
74 82
71 70
72 72
65 68
63 63
52 51
45 63

Best of both columns.
53
82
71
72
68
63
52
63

The above sorted.
82 25pts.
72 20
71 15
68 10
63 5
63
53
52

As one can see above where pts. equal 63 one could rely on the sort, award both 5
pts. or split the pts. between both (or more). I'm not too bothered about this
aspect though.
