Looks like people mostly using custom analyzers that are added to the mapping to "lowercase" everything for the purpose of sorting.
No longer using "alpha" because then that sort doesn't work for date histograms, which use "_key". Instead using "term"
Moving this to milestone 2 until I get any comments from the Cather team
@techgique may have a lead on this, I believe he looked into analyzers dealing with capitalization, etc
Do we need this for Petitioning for Freedom and Whitman
Another related issue to this is letters with diacritics sorting to the end (see family letters)
I believe this is don, diacritics might be another issue
Right now ES returns results like this:
?facet_sort=alpha|desc
Is it possible to sort alphabetically without regard to capitalization? Also, is it possible to specify (maybe by field) whether empty values should go at the beginning or end of sorting alphabetically?
