It just hit me (and I did not consider it any further) that perhaps one could store String.valueOf(theTitle.hashcode()) in an alternative field and sort by that instead? It will not be 100% accurate, but in most cases it will.
That would only mostly work for titles around 5 characters long, right? It seems like after that, the correlation between hashCode and sort order breaks down almost immediately since you lose the leftmost hash bits. -Yonik
