Cool, we want to examine certain fields of a docset which currently is a multivalued field, obviously only the first value gets loaded into field cache.
But if a poly field that can be loaded into FC, then that will work, we can extend FC to return an Field[] and make that cache aware. Sorting on multivalued is definitely a subjective matter that a function query would rock in, having an FC or VS that supports is would make that much easier, like say events where an event can have multiple dates, sort_date_compared(performance_dates, NOW) Or even distances from a poly, polyDistance(convexHull, point) or polyDistance(center, point) etc..
