Hello,

ICUCollationKeyword field ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu-collation-keyword-field.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu-collation-keyword-field.html)) is great for sorting field. But for the moment it has a major drawback since it cannot take the `ignore_above` parameter proposed by Keyword field type ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ignore-above.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ignore-above.html)).

Could it be possible to add this option in a future release ?

With best regards,

Clément
