just a quick note, I want to draw your attention to a little feature I just
added to the ICU plugin. A new facet type "icu" allows sorting string
entries in facets according to ICU collation rules.
For german users, the challenge is well-known in displaying names in facets
that are sorted appropriately even if they have umlauts
("Telefonbuchsortierung").
Pull request here
Preliminary ZIP as drop-in replacement for the ICU plugin
Sounds interesting for french as well, thanks Jorg

Well, I had to rework the pull request - it wasn't working, but now it
should. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Also I updated the download zip.
For users who prefer the non-ICU environment (JDK-based)
for java.text.Collator based sorting on doc lists and facets, I issued pull
requests:
Cheers, Jörg

Great work Jorg!. We are going to go through the effort of upgrading to Lucene 4.0, and then restructure a bit the facet API code (to simplify writing custom ones for example). I would also say that, if its just for ordering, we should allow for a pluggable "sort" logic for the different terms facet, which ICU can add.
