Hi Alex,
DateRangeField extends some spatial stuff, which has that error message in
it, not in DateRangeField proper. You cannot sort on a DateRangeField. If
you want to... try adding either one plain docValues field if you just have
date instances, or a pair of them to hold a min & max and pick the right
one to sort on.
The "sorting by the query" in the context of spatial refers to doing a
score sorted sort, noting that the score of a spatial query can be the
distance or some formula involving the distance or possibly overlap of the
shape with something else. e.g. q={!geofilt score=distance ...} This
is documented in the ref guide on the spatial page, including an example
for BBoxField.
&q={!field f=bbox score=overlapRatio}Intersects(ENVELOPE(-10, 20, 15, 10))
I think that example could be simpler using {!bbox} but probably wants to
show different ways to skin this cat, so to speak.
