Default Sorting data with a formula

Probably an obvious answer, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have 2
columns of data, like this:

Apples 7
Oranges 5
Pears 12
Bananas 2

I want to produce a 3rd column that sorts column A based on the value of
Column B, thus the 3rd column would be:

Bananas
Oranges
Apples
Pears

I know how to do that using "Data-Sort", but I want it to be done by
formula so I don't have to manually do the sorting.

Thanks,

Pete
