Hello everybody!  
I am trying to sort my search results by date, and then each day by  
score.

For example:

– 26 May

1. Score 0.74
2. Score 0.55

– 25 May

1. Score 0.93
2. Score 0.68
3. Score 0.41

I tried creating an array like this

sortable\_fields = []  
sortable\_fields \<\< Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:created\_at\_sort,  
:reverse =\> true)  
sortable\_fields \<\< Ferret::Search::SortField::SCORE

but it only works sorting by the first element (in both cases).

Any ideas?

Have a nice a day!
