Description

The Annotation Index (and any other user defined index which includes type ordering) sorts using type ordering. However, if no type ordering is present (there is typePriority specification in the pipeline xml). then this is a no-op. UIMA V2 did some kind of default type ordering in this case. Update V3 to exclude the type ordering test if there are no type priorities specified (for performance improvement). Update the backward compatibility spec to mention this difference.
