What is the difference between In-Memory Sort and Inputs must be sorted?..

Answer / duffer

When set to In memory: Input need not be sorted, the
component accepts unsorted input and permits the use of the
maintain-order parameter. Component sorts records
internally in its buffer.

When set to Inputs must be sorted, the component requires
sorted input, and the maintain-order parameter is not
available.

Default is Inputs must be sorted.

Answer / mahendra patnaik

The Inmemory sort and input must be sorted options are
there in the Join,Rollup and Dedup components.
Main difference between these two is if you selected input
must be sorted options in the above mentioned components
the the downstream components will get the records in a
sorted oder. if you are selected option as Inmemory sort
then the downstream components will not get the sorted
records.
