the program needs print each name , top 3 scores on individual lines. lengthy replies welcome. in advance.

what trying sort here.

   collections.sort(namenum,collections.reverseorder()); 

namenum list of individual item in file.

each item in list seperate item in list.

you need use nextline(). each line need skip first token name , convert rest of data on line in integer array , reverse sort on that.
