Returns an object which, when sorted according to natural order, will order the Term values in the correct order.

For example, if the Terms contained integer values, this method would return

CopyC#
new Integer(termtext)
. Note that this might not always be the most efficient implementation - for this particular example, a better implementation might be to make a ScoreDocLookupComparator that uses an internal lookup table of int.
