Default Formula to rank cells alphabetically

I have a list of names, e.g.

Bloggs, J
Smith, P
Peters, F

I want a formula that can rank these in order so the output would be

Bloggs, J 1
Smith, P 3
Peters, F 2

I know the sort function could be used but I need a formula.

I know the Rank function will do this for numbers but does not work on alpha
fields.
Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
