copyField myfield -> myfield2
the field type for myfield would keep the first number
the field type for myfield2 would keep the second number
But actually, something like that only works for text field types that
you can specify an analyzer for. To sort by the integer value, you
need an integer field.
So is there a way for your indexing code to split the numbers before
they are sent to Solr?

Very little to none in most situations.
