I have multiple separate models that are all indexed by Sphinx. My
goal is to be able to search all of them and return the results all
sorted by a specific field, integrated with each other. For example, I
want to search a model Asset and a model Person, returning a list
ordered by the field name.

Currently, I am using this (optionally with a search string):

ThinkingSphinx::Search.search :classes => [Person, Asset], :order
=> :name_sort

This returns all people ordered by name, followed by all assets
ordered by name. However, if I have the two people named Link and
Zelda and two assets named Master Sword and Tri-Force, I want them
returned in the following order: Link, Master Sword, Tri-Force, Zelda.

Is this possible in Sphinx/ThinkingSphinx?

P.S. The Asset model is currently the base class for Single Table
Inheritance, and I'm able to search the subclasses in this manner (the
various classes are returned intermingled). I don't want to include
the new models as a subclass to Asset as they have no columns in
common, nor will other new models I'm going to add. In fact, Assets
has a column named title that I'm indexing with the :as => :name
option so that I could hopefully sort both Asset and Person on the
field name.
