That is currently not possible in Solr. You can return then in Unicode order, as Koji and manju16832003 suggests, but that is only the same as alphabetic if you lower (or upper) case everything and stick to plain ASCII. I mention this because it is a common trap for people with English as their first language: Names, places, products, just about everything except for a tightly controlled vocabulary, may contain letters other than a-z. These letters are after z in Unicode and their sorting positions have little resemblance to any national alphabetic sorting rules. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
