Why do you need that precicion?
Remember: there's a price to pay. The memory required for sorting and
the time to set up the sort cache depends on the number of different terms,
dates in your case.
I can hardly think of an application where seconds are relevant, what do
you need milliseconds for?

Just an idea off the top of my head you could create a custom sort, 
or alternatively you could store the date as separate fields such as 
"year", "month", "day", "time", and provide multi-field sort.

Sorting date stored in milliseconds time

Hi

I store my date in milliseconds, how can I do a sort on it? SortField
has INT, FLOAT and STRING. Do I need to create a new sort class, to
sort the long value?

Thanks
Ben
