In addition to Jack's comment, what would the correct behavior
be for "sorting on a multivalued field"? The reason this is disallowed
is because there is no correct behavior in the general case.

Imagine you have two entries, aardvark and emu in your
multiValued field. How should that document sort relative to
another doc with camel and zebra? Any heuristic
you apply will be wrong for someone else....
