I have noticed that the "BY-EXP" is just the same as using "BY". "BY-EXP" seems to have no purpose in OI.
Other multivalued products use "BY" for single value sorts and use "BY-EXP" for multivalue sorts.

But that requires the user to KNOW that the field is multi-valued

Users shouldn't need to know anything about the underlying architecture - the software should work. I haven't got a clue how my petrol injection engine works and I certainly can't optimise it - I pay specialists to do that. Doesn't stop me getting from A to B though.
I'm not anti users knowing what goes on underneath the hood. I'm anti users NEEDING to know what goes on underneath the hood before they can use the software. BY-EXP is such an example.

I am not sure where this topic is heading!
Although… UniVerse to OI conversions might want to know that "BY" and "BY-EXP" do not produce results the same!!!
