I implemented what you recommended and now having it working. I'm sorting on the first word in the title. Does Lucene have a "beginning of line" query syntax, like the regular expression ^ symbol? For example, title:^A* What is the best way to sort by a date? I currently have a date field that is used for searching in the format YYYYMMDD as a Field.Keyword.

So add an extra field with the title, but untokenized, just for sorting. Also, "A*" might slow down the query execution so you might want to add another field which just contains the first letter so there's no need for the asterisk.
