Default Sort using formula

Hi

I'd like to sort a column of data using a formula, but I am having
challenges because there is non-unique data

eg. Source data : Names in col A and scores in col B

A B
Name 1 21
Name 2 30
Name 3 21
Name 4 40
etc.

Output : I want to be able to re-order the names using the scores, so in Col
C I'd have the scores in ascending order, and the corresponding name in Col D

C D
21 Name 1
21 Name 3
30 Name 2
40 Name 4


I cannot use the sort options (as I am building for beginners who may not be
able to use it) and would prefer to not use a macro (for the same reason).
Have tried a few different ways but keep getting stumped by the multiple
names associated with a single score (limiting the potential for an
index/match)

Any ideas?
