Solution 1:

You can store all the values in a list, sort the list, and write them out, as such:

with open("winnersum.txt", "r") as txt:
    file = txt.read()

scores = file.split('\n') #converts to list
scores = [int(x) for x in scores] #converts strings to integers
scores.sort(reverse=True) # sorts results

with open("winnersum.txt", "w") as txt:
    for i in scores:
        txt.write(f"{i}\n")
