Default Advanced sorting

My question was ... might there be duplicate *values*?

Peaches - 1
Apples - 3
Pears - 3
Bananas - 2
Grapes - 2
Oranges - 8

Hi again,

the column to sort on are all unique; the items and values are in
different columns.

Hi, I'm sure someone has asked this before, but I can't find it.

I'm looking for a function that sorts a set of data that contains
references. Example, I have this data:

Apple $1
Banana $5
Citrus $3

Now I want to automatically create a list in a different place that
contains the same data, but sorted to value, in this case the result
would be:

Banana $5
Citrus $3
Apple $1

The original table should stay as it is and be changable, i.e if I
change the value of an apple to $4, the new table should automatically
be updated to:

Banana $5
Apple $4
Citrus $3

I tried simple referencing and then sorting, but then it will simply
copy the order from the original table.

Thanks for any help!
