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.
