Projecteuler - Problem 22 Names Scores

[korhan]

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 938th name in the list. So, COLIN would obtain a score of 938 × 53 = 49714.

I am trying to make my code more efficient and any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Option Explicit
Sub Test2()
    Dim StartTime As Double
    Dim MinutesElapsed As String


    'Remember time when macro starts
    StartTime = Timer
    
    ' Declare variables
    Dim names() As String, textline As String
    Dim chrName() As Byte
    Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, x As Integer, y As Integer, intLowBnd As Integer, intUppBnd As Integer
    Dim strTemp As String
    Dim totalScore As Long, currentScore As Long


    Open "path\Question 22 Data.txt" For Input As #1
    
    Do Until EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, textline
        names = Split(textline, """" & "," & """", , vbTextCompare)
        names(0) = Replace(names(0), Chr(34), "")
        names(UBound(names)) = Replace(names(UBound(names)), Chr(34), "")
    Loop
    Close #1
    
    intLowBnd = LBound(names)
    intUppBnd = UBound(names)
    
    ' Alphabetically sort the names array
    For x = intLowBnd To intUppBnd - 1
      For y = x To intUppBnd
        If names(y) < names(x) Then
          strTemp = names(x)
          names(x) = names(y)
          names(y) = strTemp
        End If
       Next y
    Next x


    ' Loop through the list and get the scores
    For i = intLowBnd To intUppBnd
        currentScore = 0
        chrName = StrConv(names(i), vbFromUnicode)
        For j = 0 To UBound(chrName)
            currentScore = currentScore + (chrName(j) - 64)
        Next j
        totalScore = totalScore + (currentScore * (i + 1))
    Next i
    
    Debug.Print totalScore
    MinutesElapsed = Format((Timer - StartTime) / 86400, "hh:mm:ss")
    Debug.Print "Whole process took: ", MinutesElapsed
End Sub

I do not. My point was, I expect if I did, the file read would take about 1ms instead of 17. Maybe someone who has one can check.
