Indexing two fields when one could work is unfortunate though. I think what we should support (eventually) is a max() function will also work on a multi-valued field and select the maximum value (i.e. it will simply bypass the check for multi-valued fields). Then one can utilize sort-by-function to do sort=max(author) asc -Yonik http://lucidimagination.com
