Sorting on solr.TextField

Is there any documentation which details sorting behaviors on the different
types of solr fields?  My question is specifically about solr.TextField but
I'd just like to know in general at this point.  Currently when executing a
query and I say to sort on a text field I am getting results as follows:


Beth Cross
Beth Cross
Caroline Cross
Arlene Cross
Calvin Cross
Brett Cross
Brandon Cross
Beth Cross
Beth Cross
Caroline Cross

where I would have expected

Arlene Cross
Beth Cross
Beth Cross
Brett Cross
Beth Cross
Beth Cross
Brandon Cross
Calvin Cross
Caroline Cross
Caroline Cross

    <fieldType name="lowercase" class="solr.TextField"

    </fieldType>

Thanks exactly what I was looking for.

With this new field used just for sorting is there a way to have it be case
insensitive?
