> Back in SOLR-2522, I added new syntax for (numeric) fields such that the
> {{field(someMultivaluedFieldName,min|max)}} syntax could be used to select
> either the min or max value of a multivalued (docvalues) field for use in
> other functions -- or for sorting.
> A little while back, it occured to me that a good "default" behavior for all
> primative multivalued fields would be:
> * automatically use the "min" value when {{sort=someMultivaluedFieldName
> asc}} is attempted
> * automatically use the "max" value when {{sort=someMultivaluedFieldName
> desc}} is attempted
> These defaults seem like they would be a big improvement over the current
> "throw an error" default behavior -- especially since it naturally reduces
> down in the trivial case where all docs have at most 1 value anyway -- and
> would align in practice with how most people I've talked to seem to think
> "sorting on a multivalued field" should work in theory. If users don't like
> these dafaults, they can always use the explicit {{field(foo,min|max)}}
> syntax instead (ex: if users always want multivalued fields to sort on the
> 'min' value, regardless of the asc|desc selector)
> I've been experimenting with this off and on for a while, working up a POC
> patch -- I think it's worth doing (details to follow in comment)
