Description Lucas Koehler CLA 2019-05-17 06:00:42 EDT 
The table and grid should support sorting enum columns by their internationalized literals. Currently enums are sorted by their ordinal number. From a user's point of view this leads to an arbitrary sort order.

In order to support this, the enum cell renderer also needs to show internationalized literals.Currently, it does not support these but just shows the literal as is.

TEST INFORMATION
1. Summary of the critical part of the change
Enum values displayed in tables and grids now show the internationalized version of the enum's literals. Before this change, the model value of the literal was always shown.
2. Columns with enum values are now sorted by their shown literal.

Potential regressions
Users may see other enum values depending on their locale and the installed internationalizations

Affected areas / use cases
Internationalized software with tables/grids
Sorting tables/grids

Things that shall be tested
Enum values in tables/grids are still shown as expected.
Sorting of enum columns works as expected
