Hello,
Sorry for the belated response.
Solr only supports sorting from point or rectangles in the index. For
rectangles use BBoxField. For points, ideally use the new
LatLonPointSpatialField; failing that use LatLonType. You can use RPT for
point data but I don't recommend sorting with it; use one of the others
just mentioned.
