Field with node new comments seems to output an integer, but... is unsortable. Is it a bug or by design?

It is by design; that number is calculated by a separate query and thus can't be sorted as part of the query. So far as I know there simply is no way to do it, though someone really clever might be able to write the query that does it.

is it possible to add some kind of php magic with Views PHP?

I have tried various tricks, but now I do not understand if it is Views PHP or "by design"

What kind of data coment_count outputs? Integer? String?

As I said, as far as I know, there is no way to do it. Sorry.
