Relevance would still be relevant (it's the order Solr thinks you wanted results) and I think is the only field that crosses all types of results.
You could do "number of journal mentions/references" but I'm not sure how easy that is to make an option, or how much it might slow down the search.
Not a priority this one @nomoregrapes but I mention it in case it is one that can be easily dealt with while you're on with #222 . I imagine a situation where, if a search returns no results for journals, then the 'Sort by journal date' just drops out of the drop-down options?
@nomoregrapes something to think about for some later visit, maybe.
Searches like this, which contain no results from journals, still show the option to search by relevance and by journal date. https://henson-test.durham.ac.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search_field=only_people&q=knowling
We could have it drop out, or think about other sort criteria (though I'm not sure what).
