I have a data flow in data factory that gets data from a database and transforms some columns and then outputs it on a tsv sink file.

In this data flow the data is sorted by a certain column. The sink preview is sorted correctly but when I open the outputted tsv file the data is not sorted. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    Hi rbc_user,

    Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    You need to consider repartitioning, consider setting a single partition in the optimize tab on the transformation. Consider keeping the sort transformation as close to the sink as possible.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if any further queries.
