You may not sort on a tokenized field. You may not sort on a multiValued
field. You can only have one term in a field.
If there are more search terms than documents, A) sorting doesn't mean
anything and B) Lucene will throw an exception.

In general, the behavior when sorting is not predictable when
sorting on a tokenized field, which "text" is. What would
it mean to sort on a field with "erick" "Moazzam" as tokens
in a single document? Should it be in the "e"s or the "m"s?
That said, you probably want to watch out for case....

The field type of the first name and last name is text. Could that be
why it's not sorting properly? I just changed it to string and started
a full-import. Hopefully that will work.

Sorting is easy in Solr just by passing the sort parameter
However, when it comes to text sorting it depends on how you analyse
and tokenize your fields
Sorting does not work on fields with multiple tokens.

Hey guys,
I have a list of people indexed in Solr. I am trying to sort by their
first names but I keep getting results that are not alphabetically
sorted (I see the names starting with W before the names starting with
A). I have a feeling that the results are first being sorted by
relevancy then sorted by first name.
Is there a way I can get the results to be sorted alphabetically?
Thanks,
Moazzam
