If you omitNorms and omitTermFreqAndPositions on the query field(s) and use no funky boost functions, all results will have identical score in AND-queries (or queries with one search term). IDF has no meaning because of AND, queryNorm is the same across the resultset, fieldNorm is 1 and TF is 1.
It's not a really uncommon use-case. Some business owners just do not care about normalizing or term frequencies. > In real life though, it seems unlikely that the relevancy score will > ever be identical, so the second sort field will never be used.
