Would there be any way for it to still be tokenized when defining it as
'school_sort' => { :index => :untokenized }
in the model (a_a_f)? I just saw the other thread on sorting strangeness
and it seems like I am having similar problems. I will try that solution
and get back.
Thanks again for a great library.
