The standard Java Collator ignores whitespace. It can be hacked, but you
will have to write your own implementation to get Lucene to sort in the
desired way. FieldComparatorSource is a good place to start.

A code snippet demonstrating the Collator-hack:

    public void testJavaStandardCollator() throws Exception {
        java.text.Collator javaC =
            java.text.Collator.getInstance(new Locale("EN"));
        assertTrue("Spaces should be ignored per default",
                   javaC.compare("liu yu", "l yy") < 0);

        java.text.RuleBasedCollator adjustedC = new
java.text.RuleBasedCollator(
                ((java.text.RuleBasedCollator)javaC).getRules().
                    replace("<'\u005f'", "<' '<'\u005f'"));
        assertTrue("Spaces should be significant inside strings after
adjust",
                   adjustedC.compare("liu yu", "l yy") > 0);
    }
