Project Euler, Problem 22: Names Scores

Using names.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 46K text file containing over five-thousand first names, begin by sorting it into alphabetical order. Then working out the alphabetical value for each name, multiply this value by its alphabetical position in the list to obtain a name score.

For example, when the list is sorted into alphabetical order, COLIN, which is worth $3 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 53$ , is the 938^th name in the list. So, COLIN would obtain a score of $938 \times 53 = 49714$ .

What is the total of all the name scores in the file?

This one was pretty straight forward. JavaScript doesn't like to read text files so I just copied all the items into an array of names. Then I sorted it. Then I calculated all of the namescores, putting the value into an array. Then I added up all of those values.
