Good idea.
Was also just looking into this area.
Assuming my input record looks like this:
<documents>
<document id="foobar">
<element name="author"><value>author_1 ; author_2 ;
author_3</value></element>
</document>
</documents>
Do you know if I can use something like this:
...
<entity name="records" processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
transformer="RegexTransformer"
...
<field column="author"
xpath="/documents/document/element[@name='author']/value" />
<field column="author_sort"
xpath="/documents/document/element[@name='author']/value" />
<field column="author" splitBy=" ; " />
...
To just double the input and make author multiValued and author_sort a string
field?

Is there a way to have a kind of "casting" for copyField?
I have author names in multiValued string field and need a sorting on it,
but sort on field is only for multiValued=false.
I'm trying to get multiValued content from one field to a
non-multiValued text or string field for sorting.
And this, if possible, during loading with copyField.
Or any other solution?

Not sure about CopyField, but you could use a transformer to
extract values from a multiValued field, and stick them into a
single-valued field.
