    Thanks for your feedback. 
    
    So the `FileInputFormat` is responsible for sorting the file pieces. I 
think this means any file format that one expects `sortByKey` to survive being 
saved and reloaded will have to, at the least, copy paste the 
`FileInputFormat.getSplits` and add a sort. It makes sense since 
`FileInputFormat` is in the hadoop project and hadoop doesn't really care about 
the ordering. It feels a bit inelegant. Is there a better solution?
    
    If that's the solution, then I guess we can close this and the open ticket.
    
    Thanks
