[issue41678] File-level, optionally external sorting

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com> added the comment:

What do you refer when you say "sorting a file"?

What does "key" act upon? Strings representing the lines in the file?

For allow_disk_use=False, what's the difference between opening the file, reading the lines, using sort() and writing the contents?
