Description

Let's get a simple object with Id and Indexed field called name. Then fill it with two lagnguage values (russian and english in my case). Now make a query like

query().order(CallTheme_.name).build().subscribe().observer ...

The result is shown in application screenshot and you can see that case insensitive collation order for english language is different that a collation order for russian, i.e. did't work for russian either.
