This is a sample code on how to read data from a file
files1 {}
result = open(file1.txt)
for line in result:
file1 = linesplit()
files1.append(file1)
result.close()
file1.sort()
file1.reverse()
print('THE FILE INFO')
print(file1(0)
print(file1(1)

Do you have a specific question to accompany this?
The code above is syntactly invalid, so it will not run.
The line:
files1 {}
is invalid, but looks like it is intended to initialise files1 as a dictionary.
However, the rest of the program seems to use it as though it were a list.
The line:
file1 = linesplit()
should probably be written:
file1 = line.split()
With it is legal (as it performs a comparison) but will fail because
there's no bare split() function, and anyway is probably not as intended.
Your final print statements need an extra closing parenthesis each.

Other comments -
The line that appends probably wants to be in the loop, and is not.
Is there a reason you're subsequently processing only the last line?
