v3 fixes two issues:
- commented out renaming of sorting_foreign because it happens on all calls
without any checks. This causes problems with sorting/sorting_foreign
fields. This is a very old code (for TYPO3 4.1), so it can be removed in
the end I think.
- only one localization was created by previous version
