The answer would be relatively straightforward, as well as much more efficient, if you would orient your table the other way. With data such as yours, table is really designed to be used this way:

>> Name = ["roni" ; "tim" ; "jon" ; "lie" ; "kim"];
>> TestScore = [90 ; 45 ; 67 ; 84 ; 32];
>> T = table(Name,TestScore)
T =
  5×2 table
     Name     TestScore
    ______    _________
    "roni"       90    
    "tim"        45    
    "jon"        67    
    "lie"        84    
    "kim"        32 

Then you could sort the table using sortrows:

>> T2 = sortrows(T,"TestScore")
T2 =
  5×2 table
     Name     TestScore
    ______    _________
    "kim"        32    
    "tim"        45    
    "jon"        67    
    "lie"        84    
    "roni"       90
