Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7537:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks [~jim.ferenczi]; I still see e.g.:
{noformat}
+ case "sorted_string":
+ type = SortField.Type.STRING;
+ selectorSet = readSetSelector(input, scratch);
+ break;
{noformat}
in SimpleText ... can we maybe rename that to:
{noformat}
case "multi_valued_string":
...
{noformat}
Otherwise I think this is ready!

> Today index sorting can be done on single valued field through the
> NumericDocValues (for numerics) and SortedDocValues (for strings).
> I'd like to add the ability to sort on multi valued fields. Since index
> sorting does not accept custom comparator we could just take the minimum
> value of each document for an ascending sort and the maximum value for a
> descending sort.
> This way we could handle all cases instead of throwing an exception during a
> merge when we encounter a multi valued DVs.
