The way search works:
1) terms are split into tokens
2) tokens are looked up to find documents
3) documents are ranked by scoring functions
I suspect sorting by chronological order might require too many document metadatas to be retrieved at step 2. (A lot of filtering occurs between steps 2 and 3.)
