When I look around on the internet I can see that people uses sort_by to
make it work, e.g.:

def index
@user = current_user
@search = @user.products.search do
fulltext params[:search]
order_by sort_column, sort_direction
end
@products = @search.results
end

However it stil breaks. With this error message:

Sunspot::UnrecognizedFieldError in ProductsController#index
No field configured for Product with name 'name'
