Usage example

using CsvSorter;

new StreamReader(@"C:\my_large_file.csv")
    .OrderBy<int>("id")
    .ToFile(@"C:\my_large_file_sorted_by_id.csv");

Index provider

Default index provider is MemoryIndexProvider<T>. It stores index data in the memory. You can create your own provider (DatabaseIndexProvider for example) by implementing IIndexProvider<T> interface:

public interface IIndexProvider<T> where T: IComparable
{
    void Add(CsvSorterIndex<T> record);
    IEnumerable<CsvSorterIndex<T>> GetSorted(bool descending);
    void Clear();
}

Events

You can specify 4 events: OnIndexCreationStarted, OnIndexCreationFinished, OnSortingStarted and OnSortingFinished

new StreamReader(@"C:\my_large_file.csv")
    .OrderBy<int>(0)
    .OnIndexCreationStarted(() => { logger.Info("Index creation has started"); })
    .OnIndexCreationFinished(() => { logger.Info("Index creation completed"); })
    .OnSortingStarted(() => { logger.Info("Sorting has started"); })
    .OnSortingFinished(() => { logger.Info("Sorting completed"); })
    .ToWriter(writer);
