A method, system, and apparatus provide for multiple custom fields associated with an application running at a computing device, where the multiple custom fields are received in a specified sort order. The method includes dynamically building multi-column indexes of the multiple custom fields corresponding to multiple intrinsic datatypes stored in multiple custom field columns of a shared table, where the multiple intrinsic datatypes are converted into a generic-indexable datatype to preserve the specified sort order. The method further includes building a sorted index in a specified order in a multi-column indexable table, where the multi-column indexable table includes a partial copy of data from multiple tenants that inhibit the shared table.
