Sorting on tokenized fields

I see in the Javadoc that it is only possible to sort on fields that 
are not tokenized, I have two questions about that:

1) What happens if the field is tokenized, is sorting done anyway, 
using the first term only?

2) Is there a way to do some sorting anyway, by concatenating all the 
tokens into one string?

RE: Sorting on tokenized fields

You can create a new field which contains the full untokened string and use
it as a sort field.
