The original CSV reader had the option to sort, and it was pretty quick too!

I don't think we'll add a sorter option to the new CSV reader, because new CSV reads data as a "feature table" and the Sorter should be able to sort that really quickly (like the PointCloudSorter should sort a point cloud equally quickly).
Unfortunately, the Sorter hasn't been updated to handle feature tables yet. It's filed as PR#70160 and I've posted a link to this idea so the developers are aware of the need.

@mmacfarlane - The Sorter has been enhanced to leverage the magic of Feature Tables and can be found in the latest version of the FME 2018.0 beta. You should find that reading a CSV straight into a Sorter will now be lightning fast compared to previous versions!
Very cool that CSV2 ft can be sorted lightning fast externally (right after reader), but not so hot for client env 2017.1.2. Esp. when I need the Data Qualifier in CSV2 reader.
