Not quite, it is used like
PropertyNamesCompareCase/PropertyNamesIgnoreCase.

Attached is a patch for the Documentation. But I'm not sure if this
will get into the next stable release, since the current
strcoll-solution was written by Bill Moseley, and IIRC he had some
concerns about its compatibility with the incremental-feature.

+ Due to the limitations of C<PropertyNamesCompareCase> and
+ C<PropertyNamesIgnoreCase> to the ASCII part of iso-8859-1, there is
+ also an alternative of using the operating system's locale facility
+ when sorting results.  In order to sort accented characters or umlauts

  Use of PropertyNames will increase the size of your index files, sometimes
  significantly.  Properties will be compressed if Swish-e is compiled with zlib
  as described in the L<INSTALL|INSTALL> manual page.
