Hi Yonik,
actually some applications "misused" sorting on a multiValued field,
like VuFind. And as a matter oft fact also FAST doesn't support this
because it doesn't make sense.
FAST distinguishes between multiValue and singleValue by just adding
the seperator-FieldAttribute to the field. So I moved this from FAST
index-profile to Solr DIH and placed the seperator there.
But now I'm looking for a solution for VuFind.
Easiest thing would be to have a kind of "casting", may be for copyField.
Regards,
Bernd

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?
I need this solution due to patch SOLR-2339, which is now more strict.
May be anyone else also.
Hmmm, you're the second person that's relied on that (sorting on a
multiValued field working).
Was SOLR-2339 a mistake?
