Are you sure you want to recompute the length when sorting? It's the classic time/space tradeoff, but I'd suggest that when your index is big enough to make taking up some more space a problem, it's far too big to spend the cycles calculating each term length for sorting purposes considering you may be sorting all the terms in your index worst-case.
But you could consider payloads for storing the length, although that would still be redundant...
