I don't think so. Solr excels at getting the score of single documents, not aggregation.
It's not at all clear to me, though, that the sum of documents' scores is a reasonable thing to sort by. Consider grouping on a very common term. You'd never do this, but group on the elements of a text field. Then the group 'a' would sort to the top almost always (or maybe 'the' or...). This sounds like an XY problem, what use-case are you trying to solve?
