I have defined a tracker in which you can sort by all fields except one.
I have attached an export of the tracker definition (Tracker_adsrel.xml). The field where sort is not possible has got ID="F4427".
I have used a similar tracker definition in several databases (by copying the tracker definition) and it is nowhere possible to sort after this field.
