                                            BitSetProducer childFilter)

      Create ToParentBlockJoinSortField. The parent document ordering is based on child document ordering (reverse).
      Parameters:
        `field` - The sort field on the nested / child level.
        `type` - The sort type on the nested / child level.
        `reverse` - Whether natural order should be reversed on the nested / child level.
        `parentFilter` - Filter that identifies the parent documents.
        `childFilter` - Filter that defines which child documents participates in sorting.
