Change Highscore list from ASC to DSC. Urgent

Question

Hi guys. I need help with changing the sort type of this code.
I write the output in an jTextArea Field with Descending order. it looks like
Viktor = 40
Thomas=65
Emil=30
Alfred=120
so you see that the names are sorted. i want the points (score) to be sorted.
The data is saved into an properties file which looks so
#Highscore-Properties
#Mon Jan 22 22:12:48 CET 2007
Viktor=80
Dora=90
Hans=200
Bertie=1000
Sepp=400
public HighScore()
        throws Exception
            myScore.load(new FileInputStream(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "score.properties"));
    /* returns Sortedmap mit key = Playername & Value-Score */
    public SortedMap getScoreList()
        SortedMap score = new TreeMap();
        Enumeration keys = myScore.keys();
        if (keys != null)
            while (keys.hasMoreElements())
                String tname = keys.nextElement().toString();
                score.put(tname, myScore.getProperty(tname));
// HOW TO CHANGE THIS PIECE OF CODE?
            return score;
        return null;
    /* If player is in properties list and score is higher than the new
     * then it writes the higher score in the file.
     *@param nickname = player
     *@param score = Highscore
    public void setnewScore(String nickname, int score)
    throws Exception
        if (myScore.getProperty(nickname) != null && Integer.parseInt(myScore.getProperty(nickname).toString()) < score)
            myScore.setProperty(nickname,""+score);
            myScore.store(new FileOutputStream(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "score.properties"),"Highscore-Properties");
        else if (myScore.getProperty(nickname) == null)
            myScore.setProperty(nickname, ""+score);
            myScore.store(new FileOutputStream(System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "score.properties"),"Highscore-Properties");
I wrote the main method in my other visual class when the window is activated
instead of the system.out.println i wrote
jTextArea2.setText("Spieler: " + player + " Score: " + sm.get(player)+"\n"+jTextArea2.getText());
writes all players who are in the score list (alphabetical ordered)
     *@param args
    public static void main(String[] args)
        try {
            HighScore hs = new HighScore();
            SortedMap sm = hs.getScoreList();
            Iterator ene = sm.keySet().iterator();           
            while (ene.hasNext())
                Object player = ene.next();
                   System.out.println("Player: " + player +" Score: " +sm.get(player));
        } catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
}       I am sorry for my bad english.
It would be very nice if someone could tell me what to change in my code.

Answer 1

yes... the set and get scorelist is not from me.
the tipp is good, but i can not code it because i am extreme java newbie.
so it would be very nice if i get the pieces of code i need because i need the highscore list till tomorrow.
in the meantime i tried other way round. set from nickname=score to score=nickname but because of the enumeration it sorts like
50 hans
30 thomas
20 emil
205 name
19 name
1394 emil
0 name
so please help me.
