Automatically Combine Duplicate Value and Rank-CodePudding

In Google Sheets, I am trying to rank a table of people to find out who contributes the highest numbers.

Sometimes one person contributes multiple times so I need to sum them up before ranking.

The issue is the table will be updated with new names every few hours so I don't want to use SUMIF and manually add those new names. Is there a formula to automate that process? Thanks!

try in E2:

=INDEX(QUERY(A2:B; 
 "select A,sum(B) 
  where B is not null 
  group by A 
  order by sum(B) desc 
  label sum(B)''");; 1)
