I would like to be able ordering by a calculated field. Which is 
constructed from a field in current table and if it's empty use a field 
from a associated table.

I used to use case when <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/case.html> in 
my regular Rails requests.

items.joins('left join item_variations iv on iv.item_id=items.id').
      select('case when iv.item_photo_id is not null then iv.picked_at else 
items.picked_at end as combined_picked_at')

Now I'm looking for a way to use similar technique in Sphinx. Is it 
possible?
