You could use file() to read each of the files in as an array. Then you should be
able to sort them easily. If th eonly relationship between the player and his votes is
position in the file, you may want to combine the two arrays into a single array:
$players = file(...);
$votes = file(...);
for($i=0; $i <count($players); $i++){
$key = $players[$i];
$playervotes["$key"] = $votes[$i];
}
------
Then you can use one of the array sort functions to sort them.
