> StringIndexer maps labels to numbers according to the descending order of
> label frequency. Other types of ordering (e.g., alphabetical) may be needed
> in feature ETL. For example, the ordering will affect the result in one-hot
> encoding and RFormula. Propose to support other ordering methods and we add a
> parameter stringOrderType that supports the following four options:
> - 'freq_desc': descending order by label frequency (most frequent label
> assigned 0)
> - 'freq_asc': ascending order by label frequency (least frequent label
> assigned 0)
> - 'alphabet_desc': descending alphabetical order
> - 'alphabet_asc': ascending alphabetical order
