i don't know if this is available in excel 3.0, but excel 4.0
has a function
small(k,range)
which will give you the k-th smallest value of range.
so it is a sort, but not a menu sort which has to be updated
when  you change the values,
but a "live" sort which is updated like a normal formula.
in fact, it is a normal formula

p.s.: you should try to upgrade to version 4.0 as soon as possible,
it really is MUCH better than 3.0. which already was very good.
