Easiest way would be to use Linq and OrderBy. Try changing the scoreArray to a class object.

class HighScore
{
    String Name { get; set; }
    Int32 Score { get; set; }
}

List<highscore> highScores = new List<highscore>();

// add code to read each line in a loop
// add code split the name and score
HighScore score = new HighScore() { Name = name, Score = score };
highScores.Add(score);
// end loop

var orderedList = highScores.OrderBy(x => x.Score);
</highscore></highscore>
