lucene sort error - there are more terms than documents in field ....

Hello.
 
I am using:
import org.apache.lucene.search.Sort

 when searching an index, but for some reasons, in some indexes i get
this error:

caught a class java.lang.RuntimeException
 with message: there are more terms than documents in field
<TheFieldIAmSortingBy>
 
does anybody know what causes this, or how to solve it.
 
Best regards,
Mats Lindberg

You may only have a single term for each document.  How is the field 
indexed you're sorting by?  Field.Keyword is the only guaranteed safe 
one, and your analyzer will determine how the other fields are treated.
