How can I order Sunspot search results for a query on multiple models?

I have two journal models, ClientJournal and InstitutionJournal and I'm using Sunspot to run a query which grabs records to display them together on the journals index page:

search = Sunspot.search ClientJournal, InstitutionJournal do
  paginate page: params[:page], per_page: 30
  order_by :created_at, :desc
end

This almost works but it splits the results into the two classes before ordering them, so search.results returns something like this:

created_at  class
09:30       ClientJournal
09:12       ClientJournal
08:57       ClientJournal
07:32       ClientJournal
09:45       InstitutionJournal
09:22       InstitutionJournal
09:07       InstitutionJournal

When what I actually want is this:

created_at  class
09:45       InstitutionJournal
09:30       ClientJournal
09:22       InstitutionJournal
09:12       ClientJournal
09:07       InstitutionJournal
08:57       ClientJournal
07:32       ClientJournal

Is there any way of telling Sunspot to order the results together as if they were the same model?

you can do something like this to search multiple models and first get individual model array and then sort them as i do:-

search = Sunspot.search ClientJournal,InstitutionJournal  do
           keywords(params[:search])
          #fulltext params[:search]
          order_by(:created_at, :desc)
          paginate :page => params[:page], :per_page => 10
         end 
##group them by class
 @results = search.results.group_by(&:class)
##get all clientjournals in created_at order
@clientjournals= @results[ClientJournal]
##OR do anything that you want with the array of cilentjournals
@clientjournals= @clientjournals.sort_by { |a| a.created_at }
