for (int i=1; i\<score.length; i++) {  
String [][]tokens=split(score[i][], “,”);  
int scores=Integer.parseInt(tokens[i][1]);  
}

//a = sort(a);  
//a=reverse(a);

scores[i][1]=sort(scores[i][1]);  
scores[i][1]=reverse(scores[i][1]);

// and I have to use the returned values to create a new CSV file to save it.
