is col A unique or is it A B

ie will you ever have
Mary, 10
Mary, 20

if not then

Option Explicit

Sub sortanddelete()
Dim rw As Long

'sort the data
With Range("A1:A" & Range("A:A").Rows.Count)
.Sort Range("A1")
End With
'strip out duplicates
For rw = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(rw, 1) = Cells(rw - 1, 1) Then Rows(rw).Delete
Next

End Sub
