> MultiSorter#getComparableProviders on an integer or long field doesn't handle MIN_VALUE correctly when the natural order is reversed. To handle reverse sort we use the negation of the value but there is no check for overflows so MIN_VALUE for ints and longs are always sorted first (even if the natural order is reversed). 
> This method is used by index sorting when merging already sorted segments together. This means that a sorted index can be incorrectly sorted if it uses a reverse sort and a missing value set to MIN_VALUE (long or int or values inside the segment that are equals to MIN_VALUE).
> This a bad bug because it affects the documents order inside segments and only a reindex can restore the correct sort order.
