we could have access to the sort-column values from the first and last rows 
though.
   
   Yeah, this is a modification of the algorithm
   
   The benefit of progressive eval as written is that it doesn't even open the 
files (no IO at all) for later on in the sort order -- if you need the first / 
last sort rows you either have to open the file and read them (which can be 
expensive if they are on object store, for example) or cache them somewhere 🤔
