Default Reordering a List in Numerical Order

I have a list of names in cells A2:A16, and a list of numbers from 1 through
15 in cells B2:B16.

In E2:E9, I have five names, each separated by a comma and a space. Each of
the names in E appears in the list in A.

In F2:F9, I want to reorder the names corresponding to the numbers in B, in
ascending order.

Example:

Col A Col B
Steve Blake 1
Mo Williams 2
Lynn Greer 3
Charlie Bell 4
Michael Redd 5
Chris McCray 6
David Noel 7
Bobby Simmons 8
Ruben Patterson 9
Ersan Ilyasova 10
Damir Markota 11
Charlie Villanueva 12
Brian Skinner 13
Dan Gadzuric 14
Andrew Bogut 15

Col. E
Bobby Simmons, Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut, Ersan Ilyasova, Charlie Villanueva
Ruben Patterson, Chris McCray, Andrew Bogut, Damir Markota, Brian Skinner
Ersan Ilyasova, David Noel, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, Dan Gadzuric
Damir Markota, Bobby Simmons, Michael Redd, Brian Skinner, Andrew Bogut
Steve Blake, Mo Williams, Bobby Simmons, Ersan Ilyasova, Charlie Villanueva
Mo Williams, Lynn Greer, Ruben Patterson, Damir Markota, Brian Skinner
Lynn Greer, Charlie Bell, Ersan Ilyasova, Charlie Villanueva, Dan Gadzuric
Charlie Bell, Michael Redd, Damir Markota, Brian Skinner, Andrew Bogut

I want to take the each row in col E and reorder it as follows (first row
shown here):
Michael Redd, Bobby Simmons, Ersan Ilyasova, Charlie Villanueva, Andrew Bogut

....so that the names correspond to the numbers in B, lowest to highest:
Redd = 5; Simmons = 8; Ilyasova = 10; Villanueva = 12; Bogut = 15.

Any ideas on how to do this?

thanks,
Bob
