If there isn't a better (or any other) way to achieve that, then I think we
should expose SegmentMerger. We shouldn't tell people "Lucene doesn't support
online sorting of an index because we didn't want to expose super-expert API".

We absolutely should.

> It would be awesome if Lucene could write the documents out in a segment
> based on a configurable order. This of course applies to merging segments
> to. The benefit is increased locality on disk of documents that are likely to
> be accessed together. This often applies to documents near each other in
> time, but also spatially.
