http://people.apache.org/~mkhl/searchable-solr-guide-7-3/common-query-parameters.html#sort-parameter In the case of primitive fields, or SortableTextFields, that are multiValued="true" the representative value used for each doc when sorting depends on the sort direction: The minimum value in each document is used for ascending (asc) sorting, while the maximal value in each document is used for descending (desc) sorting. This default behavior is equivilent to explicitly sorting using the 2 argument field() <http://people.apache.org/~mkhl/searchable-solr-guide-7-3/function-queries.html#field-function> function: sort=field(name,min) asc and sort=field(name,max) desc
