    Trying to write a code that creates a 5 x 5 2D array with random numbers from 0-9. Then sorts array columns from lowest to highest top to bottom adding the rows to output a total. Similar to this but with random numbers.

    Input array
    5 5 5 5 5
    4 4 4 4 4
    3 3 3 3 3
    2 2 2 2 2
    1 1 1 1 1

    Output array
    1 1 1 1 1 = 5
    2 2 2 2 2 = 10
    3 3 3 3 3 = 15
    4 4 4 4 4 = 20
    5 5 5 5 5 = 25

    All I have so far is the below 2D 5 x 5 array. Stuck on the sorting and the summing of the rows. Any help would be appreciated.

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    public
    class SortArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    System.out.print(
    "Input Array:");
    System.out.println();

    int row, col;
    int[][] random; // array declaration
    random = new int[5][5]; // creation of 5 x 5 array

    // fills a 5 x 5 array with random numbers between 0 and 9
    for (row = 0; row < scores.length; row++){
    for (col = 0; col < scores[row].length; col++){
    scores[row][col] = (
    int)(Math.random() * 9);
    }
    }

    // prints the contents of the array
    for (row = 0; row < scores.length; row++){
    for (col = 0; col < scores[row].length; col++){
    System.out.print( scores[row][col] +
    " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
    // moves to next line
    }
    }
    }

    Code:
    import java.util.Random;
    
    public class SortArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    System.out.print("Input Array:");
    System.out.println();
    
    int row, col;
    int[][] scores; // array declaration
    scores = new int[5][5]; // creation of 5 x 5 array
    Random random = new Random();
    
    // fills a 5 x 5 array with random numbers between 0 and 9
    for (row = 0; row < scores.length; row++){
        for (col = 0; col < scores[row].length; col++){
            scores[row][col] = random.nextInt(10);//0-9 , 9 included
        }
    }
    
    // prints the contents of the array
    for (row = 0; row < scores.length; row++){
        for (col = 0; col < scores[row].length; col++){
            System.out.print( scores[row][col] + " ");
        }
    System.out.println(); // moves to next line
    }
    System.out.println("result sorted");
    for (col=0;col< scores[0].length; col++){
        for (int i=0;i<scores.length;i++)
            for (int j=i;j<scores.length;j++){
                if (scores[i][col]>scores[j][col]){
                    int temp=scores[i][col];
                    scores[i][col]=scores[j][col];
                    scores[j][col]=temp;
                }
            }
    }
    
    // prints the contents of the array
    for (row = 0; row < scores.length; row++){
        for (col = 0; col < scores[row].length; col++){
            System.out.print( scores[row][col] + " ");
        }
    System.out.println(); // moves to next line
    }
    
    }
    
    }
    
    imagine that every column is a new array.
    in this new array perform bubblesort.
    do this for all columns.
