Solr admin (Luke request handler) doesn't order the fields alphabetically
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2989
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SearchComponents - other
    Affects Versions: 3.6, 4.0
         Environment: all
            Reporter: Erick Erickson
            Priority: Minor


It's always bugged me that the fields list for admin/schema browser haven't 
been alphabetical. We have users who have 100s of fields and it's hard to 
orient in an unordered list. 

I'll attach a patch momentarily that starts moves toward this. The thing I need 
someone to render judgement on is whether implementing the Comparable interface 
on SchemaField and FieldType are in any way dangerous. Note that they only 
compare on name, secondary and tertiary sources are unnecessary I think.

The other interesting bit is that the list of fields is actually (apparently) 
fetched in two stages. The first stage gets the ones in the schema and the 
second one gets dynamic fields that have been realized. So the "fields" section 
actually has two separate ordered sections. Which is kind of ugly, but given 
the new admin interface coming in 4.x I don't feel the urge to fix this.
