Organizing ranked data from one column into another column

Hi everyone, rank amateur Excel lover looking for assistance with something that seemingly feels it should be much easier than I'm making it. I would appreciate any assistance!

I have data ranked in one column, but I'm wanting to display it in a separate column in order without using a basic sort function.

A------- B -- C
2019 -- 64 -- 1
2018 -- 55 -- 3
2017 -- 47 -- 5
2016 -- 56 -- 2
2015 -- 42 -- 7
2014 -- 45 -- 6
2013 -- 49 -- 4
2012 -- 40 -- 10
2011 -- 41 -- 8
2010 -- 41 -- 8

So Column C is a rank formula for Column B.. =RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$100)

What I'd like to do though is have a separate Column, say Column E pull data from Column C and put it in order, essentially sorting the ranks in order:

Column E
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
8

Then, I would ultimately want a Column D to display the corresponding values from Column A that matches the sorted and ranked values in Column E without skipping the duplicate data; I know I've done this before so that both the 8's have a different value (2010 & 2011) instead of just both reading 2011 since it would be found first in a lookup function, but I am completely over thinking this and probably approaching all of it horrendously, so can any assist with this madness?

Thanks so much!
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
I have no clue how to do this without the new dynamic functions SORTBY and SORT.

Thank you, this is the exact result I'm looking for, however, I'm struggling with the SORT and SORTBY functions.

I'm getting a #ERROR! when I put in the formula for E2 listed above; do I need to be using a specific version of Excel for these dynamic functions to be recognized? Also, I'm terribly sorry for my ignorance here haha!

Well, you need to have Excel 365 in order for those functions to work. I have a feeling that trying to achieve this result with pre-365 functions will be a frustrating experience.

[There is no need to apologise!]
