: I just like play with things. First checked the behavior of sorting on : multiValued field and what I noticed was, let's say you have docs with field
sorting on a multivalued is defined to have un-specified behavior. it might fail with an error, or it might fail silently. fundementally solr can't sort on a multivvalued field, no matter how much you might want it to, because if a doc contains the values "a" and "z" then there is no deterministic way to decide where that document should appear in an alphabetical list. -Hoss
