StringSortOpts - Options for string sorting behavior

This discriminated union allows for two types of string sorting:
- **Lexical**: Simple character-by-character comparison (default)
- **Locale**: Locale-aware sorting with optional customization

The union ensures that locale options are only available when locale sorting is selected.
