Describe the Bug

If you have a collection with an array field, and then attempt to sort by it in the list view, it will get stuck loading and throw this error:

Error: Invalid field "" passed to sort()

    },
    access: {
        create: () => true,
        read: () => true,
        update: () => true,
        delete: () => true,
    },
    fields: [
        {
            name: "tests",
            type: "array",
            fields: [

                    type: "text",
                    required: true,
                },
                {
                    name: "test2",
                    type: "text",
