No. You're missing the point that [subquery] is called when assembling
the return packet, which consists of only the top N docs from your
query against the static collection, _not_ as part of the search which
it would have to be to do what you want.
To sort the complete result set, you have to ask for every document
that matches "does the value here match rank it in the top N (where
rows=N)? That would be enormously expensive if each and every doc that
matched needed to make a sub-query.
bq: since we have combined them together in the result
You have not really done this. This is not like a SQL query, all
you're combining is the stored fields from the "rows=" parameter,
_not_ the complete result set.
You might be able to do something with streaming. You might be able to
do something with updateable docValues. But you can't do what you're
asking the way you're trying to.
