Default Large Function returning top values

Have a list of several hundred records.
Each record has a unique name in column A
and a value in column B.
Would like to know the top/bottom values
associated with each record, WITHOUT
SORTING THE COLUMN(S).

Someone on TechRepublic posted this
possible solution, which would sums
the five largest values in Column B.

Index(Large(B1:B100,{1,2,3,4,5}),1,1)
Index(Large(Range,Rank(s)),Row,Column)

Now I need to pull the values (names)
in Column A that are on the same row
as the five largest values in Column B.

I don't understand the second line -
Index(Large(Range,Rank(s)),Row,Column) -
or if that is the right way to go about this.
I'm looking for a column of cells with
the top five values in one column and
the name from column A next to it.
Result would look like this:
Rank Col. C Col. D
1 Smith 100,000
2 Johnson 99,000
3 Jones 85,000
4 Roberts 79,000
5 Davis 66,000
Maybe some unholy concatenation of
Vlookup. I don't care how complicated
it is.
