Rearranging the column
I have a text file like this, I would like to rearrange the first column (Name) according to the third column(percentage)in descending order. I mean methionine with the highest percentage should be the first one to appear under the name column. But I also want to exclude the headers from this rearrangement. How can I do this?

Code:
Name                   Number           Percentage
Alanine                    5                         7.8
Thymine                  7.8                       3.7
Methionine            10.2                      8.3
