Read it that you're asking to auto-sort the dates in col A
by the numbers in col B (in descending order)

In C1: =IF(B1="","",B1-ROW()/10^10)
In D1: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(LARGE(C:C,ROWS($1:1)),C:C,0))
Select C1:D1, copy down. Format col D as dates. Minimize/hide col C. Col D
returns the required auto-sorted dates from col A. Any dates with tied
numbers in col B (ties) will be returned in the same relative order that they
appear within the source.
