Although you weren't very clear about it, it sounds as if you want the
results to be sorted by a name that actually matched the query? In
general that is not going to be easy, since it is not something that can
be computed in advance and thus indexed.

Hi all-
Well, this is a problem. I have a list of names as a multi-valued field and I
am searching on this field and need to return the results sorted. I know from
searching and reading the documentation (and getting the error) that sorting on
a multi-valued field isn't possible. Okay, so, what I haven't found is any real
good solution/workaround to the problem. I was wondering what strategies others
have done to overcome this particular situation; collapsing the individual
names into a single field with copyField doesn't work because the name searched
may not be the first name in the field.
Thanks for any hints/tips/tricks.
