Hi, could it be that the issue is tokenization? In your explanation, you write the field is tokenized, but fields used for sorting should not be tokenized and should be indexed as-is (e.g. as Lucene 4.0 StringField). If you have more than one token/document in the field, the sorting is not defined.
