Description
As a user I want to be able to sort my data sources content and output this as a new file, in potentially a different format.
We can use the merge sort algorithm to break the problem down.
An external merge sort uses smaller files instead of dumping the whole file into memory

Define the supported input and output formats and verify that sorting can use temporary smaller files without loading the entire source into memory.
