One of the biggest issues with Search API is the ability to break out data within Search API by fields. The following module leverages the Search API Grouping module to help denormalize fields and break them into their own documents. When using views allows for the field to be used in the entity

At the moment, Search API Grouping does not have a stable version for Drupal 10+. There are patches in the queue currently.

Current Issues Outstanding:

#3289516: Automated Drupal 10 compatibility fixes
#3319197: Error "Call to a member function getValues() on null" preventing data to be indexed when Denormalization is enabled
#3246441: PHP notices in Denormalization processor
#3360720: Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, string given in Drupal\Core\Render\Element\Checkboxes::valueCallback()
#3423336: getDenormalizationFields does not return field names

composer require 'drupal/search_api_grouping:1.x-dev' drupal/search_api_grouping_solr

After installing the modules via composer then enable the module by going to Extend then selecting the module.

Once enabled go to the Processors for the desired Index and enable the "Denormalization" and "Denormalization - Altering" plugins.

Scroll to the bottom and select the fields that should be broken out. Under the Denormalization settings.

Save.

After, the index will need to reindex the entities.

When that is done creating a view now will create separate rows for each of the data points provided and allow sorting to properly happen.
