Description

Currently, StrField does not take a parameter which it can pass to ctor of SortField making the StrField's sorting rely on the locale of the JVM. Ideally, StrField should allow setting the locale in the schema.xml and use it to create a new instance of the SortField in getSortField() method, something like:
snip:
public SortField getSortField(SchemaField field,boolean reverse)

{ ... Locale locale = new Locale(lang,country); return new SortField(field.getName(), locale, reverse); }
