If you only want a LIST based on zip codes, it seems to me you don't
need MapInfo at all for this task, and it may not be the appropriate
tool.
Can you use MS-Access? Just import your delimited ASCII file (File>get
external data >import); then start a new query, using zip code as the
first field, name as the second field, and put an ascending sort under
zip code.
