Sorting: Sort Big File without Record Class 1

Shows how to sort a big file without a record class

Implements External Sorting (wikipedia)

You don't need to declare a record class to sort a file, you can sort with a compare method

SortingWithoutRecord.cs

// Sort comparing the raw lines
var sorter = new BigFileSorter((x, y) =>
        string.Compare(x, y, StringComparison.Ordinal));


sorter.Sort("unsorted.txt", "sorted.txt");
