Sort for browse page: case and unicode insensitive #96

When we sort browse pages, it is case and unicode sensitive.

Ideally, we could make it sort so any diacritics sort with the ascii character that most closely matches (so ñ would be sorted with "N" etc)

I have a feeling someone has solved this already. I found a few posts about the case insensitivity. i.e. https://www.technetexperts.com/web/case-insensitive-sorting-in-elasticsearch/ (not the nest post, just an example)

Use this for ascii conversions: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-asciifolding-tokenfilter.html

The custom analyzer they show as their example does basically exactly what we want it to do, although I'd have to read up on the character filter.

Ah so I misled myself a little, the analyzers are NOT applicable to keyword fields, but it looks like they have normalizers instead: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/normalizer.html
