Is there a way to compare two sorted files, with "never align differences" turned on, and force them to align/interleave between the right and left comparison panes in sort order? In other words, I never want to see a value in one pane that's LOWER than any value on the same row in the other pane.
When comparing large sorted files (my current example being a comparison of a 26Mb / 658k line file with a 6Mb / 200k line file), the comparison always eventually gets to the point where it loses alignment and the comparison ends with "all the rest of the left file" in the left pane followed by "all the rest of the right file" in the right pane:
What I want to see is:
...regardless of whether or not there are any actual matching lines in the files for the alignment algorithm to latch onto.
Is there any way to do this today? If not, I'd like to request it for a future release.

Code:
YY- YZ- ZJ- ZZ- -WX -XB -ZA -ZY
Code:
-WX -XB YY- YZ- -ZA ZJ- -ZY ZZ-
