Hey!

Is there a way to specify a locale for sorting?

For example, i have the following items in my collection: Apple, Ápple, Banana, apple, ápple, banana  
If I use `sort: {title: 1}` i get the items in this order: Apple, Banana, Ápple, apple, banana, ápple  
Which is not right, the correct order should be: apple, Apple, ápple, Ápple, banana, Banana

Is there a way to use [MongoDB’s Collation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/collation/) or sort the entries with locale/case sensitivity?

Thanks!
