[Archivesspace_Users_Group] PUI Ordering and Sorting Issue

[Andrew Morrison]

If you're using the schema.xml that came with ArchivesSpace 3.0.1 in 
your external Solr 8.11, then it will still define the "sort_icu" 
fieldType as an instance of the solr.TextField class. If you look below 
that, there is a commented-out alternative fieldType definition which is 
an instance of solr.ICUCollationField. ArchivesSpace 3.2.0 has changed 
to that (because it no longer has to support the previously-built-in 
Solr 4.10) but you don't need to upgrade to it, you can just edit your 
schema.xml, then reload the Solr core. See the link in my previous email 
for help on how to set that up to be optimized for Japanese characters.
