--------------------------------------------
I'll have a look; this is sneaky.
> MultiSorter#sort incorrectly sort Integer/Long#MIN_VALUE when the natural
> sort is reversed

>
> 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.
