Yes, you currently cannot do this.  Implementing this will not be  
easy, because the moment when sorting happens is when all the info is  
already extracted, so the comparison function would need to go back to  
the original entry to fish out the property values.

Or we could make a hook that is called when entries are selected, that  
could for inclusion of more property values, so that they would be  
available at the moment of sorting.....
