Timo, That is true. The only think I can recommend at the moment is to make sure you specify the correct data type. If your sort field is a numeric field, make that explicit.

I found that when sorting the search result -depending on the amount of data in the field to sort by - this can easily lead to FieldCacheImpl to allocate hundreds of MByte RAM. How does this work internally? It seems as if all data for this field found in the entire index is read into memory (?). And question #2: what am I going to do against it? Index sharding?
