You can't easily change the order in which terms are enumerated from the index. They are stored in unicode code point sort order, and then TermEnum reads them back.
You'll have to do your own buffering & collation on top of TermEnum.... which if you have alot of terms, and you really need all of them, sorted, could consume mucho RAM. SortComparatorSource/FieldComparatorSource is only used for sorting hits during searching.
