[TYPO3-mvc] foreign_sortby messes up fields

you mean, the defined "foreign_sortby" field does not contain sorting 
numbers but f.e. a string that's used for the sorting and is then 
overwritten by a sorting integer value? If so, that's the correct 
behavior, because the field defined by "foreign_sortby" is used to STORE 
the TYPO3 sorting values for manual sorting and is NOT used as a 
"default sortby". So if you just need a default sorting this is the 
wrong option. As Frank mentioned, a default sortby is not yet fully 
supported everywhere IIRC.
