case insenstive sorting in atlas search

we need a way to get results back from an atlas search that will be case-insensitive. currently, we need to index many columns with an upper option just to cover this need. we looking for the same level of support that ELK has.

    This can be achieved by using the *normalizer: lowercase* option ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/field-types/token-type/#configure-fts-field-type-field-properties ) in the token field mapping. See Case-Insensitive Sort tutorial here ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/tutorial/sort-tutorial/ ).
