public static org.apache.lucene.search.SortField getStringSortField(java.lang.String fieldName,
                                                                    boolean reverse,
                                                                    boolean nullLast,

Returns a SortField for a string field. If nullLast and nullFirst are both false, then default lucene string sorting is used where null strings sort first in an ascending sort, and last in a descending sort.

Parameters:

fieldName - the name of the field to sort on

reverse - true for a reverse (desc) sort

nullLast - true if null should come last, regardless of sort order

nullFirst - true if null should come first, regardless of sort order

Returns:

SortField
