Can we add a alpha sort min and max for non-numerical multiValued fields?

The use case is sort by As before Bs in the field.

If I have the following in he field:
aa
zzzz

I add sort=min(field) asc

I should get sort by the "aa" field

Thanks

I do a fq=field:a* then I add sort=min(field) asc

> There doesn't appear to be a min() function.  Also, max() only allows a value source and a constant b/c it is from before we had more flexible parsing.
