This issue is too long pending...and solving this issue is currently not on the radar...deferring it.

I disagree. The catalog is in a better position to do this efficiently than the application. Although 2.6 allows you to get unmerged sortable results from the catalog, this is an undocumented feature and therefore not widely used.

For example it would not be difficult to imagine a locale-aware sorting field index that can do lazy sorting much faster than sequence.sort can for large sets. Since I plan to make lazy sorting part of 2.7, this could be added.

I'm assigning this to myself since I suggested he post the issue in the first place as a reminder to me.

If you need localeaware sorting when you should apply the 
search result from ZCatalog to sequence.sort().

It would be nice if ZCatalog had the option to
sort using Locale aware string comparison,
just like the 'sequence.sort' function.
