#1112: Sorting by title fails when searches performed for another translated field
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

Priority: major | Milestone: v2.9.0
Component: General | Version: v2.8.0RC1

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Consider:
The UI language is German. Search abstract for the word Aarberg. Sort
results by title.
There are 3 hits. 2 are in the german index and thus the title in the
document is german. The third hit is in the english index and thus the
title in the document is english. The results are sorted using 2 german
names and 1 english name. The problem is the 3rd document does in fact
have a German title.
So the question is:
1. Should the results consist of 3 sorted german titles?
2. Should the results consist of 2 germain titles and 1 english title?
It can be argued that the second is correct since the match was found in
the english translation of the Abstract. However when the metadata is
viewed the metadata that is displayed will be translated in German giving
lie to the implication that it is an English document.
The current behaviour now differs between XmlSearch and Csw GetRecords.
XmlSearch shows the english title
GetRecords shows the german title but the german title is out-of-order
since the sorting was done using the english title.
