Description

Describe the feature
目前在普通的训练模式下,支持让训练数据按顺序排列(不进行 shuffle,即--train_dataloader_shuffle false)。但是在使用 Megatron 框架进行训练时,该功能似乎无法生效,数据依然会被打乱。
希望能在 Megatron 模式下也支持 --train_dataloader_shuffle false 的功能,以保持和非 Megatron 模式一致的行为。

Research direction

Start by locating the Megatron training data-loader entry point and the handling of --train_dataloader_shuffle; compare it with ordinary training behavior and the linked issue #3977. Done means false preserves input order in Megatron mode and the relevant tests pass.
