Trying to pull data from one page to another in XL?

I have a chart with names in a and scores in b.

Using =lookup(name, a1:a5,b1:b5) I can get what I want it to do, BUT my list has to be sorted. My list is being auto generated based on 3different pages. So if I add a name on page 3 it doesn't know how to sort the data. So my question is, Is there a different command I should be using?

Update:

I'm trying to use the name in a square b4 on page1 to find the same name on page2 in column A, then pull the score in B that is aligned with the name to put into c4(where this equation goes!)

currently using =lookup(b4,page2!a1:a5, page2!b1:b5) but the list on page 2 is not sorted because it is just pulling names from page 3-5 I tried to have a multi nested if( with multi lookup( but I couldn't make it work on the different pages (I think the code was 9 lines long!) so it failed!

    =INDEX(B:B, MATCH(name,A:A,0)

    Without knowing your sheet structure the above may not work as you say data is collected from various sheets.
