That would be easy. You only need to sort the students by percentage. You just need to enter the list normally like the name of the students and their respective percentage and when you are finished, you need to select all the data needed to be sorted. Here is an example:

Once the list is prepared, highlight the data to be sorted.

Next, in “Home” tab, in the “Editing” ribbon, click “Sort & Filter” then select “Custom Sort”.

In the Sort window, configure the settings. Under “Column”, select the column where the percentage is listed. In the example, the percentage is listed under column K so I select “Column K”. Under “Order”, select either “Smallest to Largest” or “Largest to Smallest” to set the sort order and then click “OK”.

And that’s it. The data should now be sorted according to their percentage.
