BLOCKER: This is handled by the catalog_controller.rb : https://github.com/projecthydra/sufia/blob/d3e52e8bcbf5b5700c5e61057b236969306ef66e/lib/generators/sufia/templates/catalog_controller.rb

Although it is easy to configure the catalog_controller to use title for sorting, there is a solr architecture problem with multi-valued fields. See error:

RSolr::Error::Http - 400 Bad Request Error: 'can not sort on multivalued field: title_tesim','code'=>400}}

This is different from curate, where title was a single valued field. Sufia allows for multiple titles for a work.

Adding to the agenda for our Metadata meeting

We will keep the title as multi-valued in the model. We will hide the extra title fields on the input form. We will add an alternate title to the model and form.
