Looking for ideas how to sort by a field that looks like 400234.12.4

I have a reference field that is pseudo numeric. Sorting alphabetically
produces the wrong results.

e.g. the following values should be sorted like this:
3045.5.2
3045.5.12
3045.15.2

I can't change the reference format - to pad it with zeros.
But I did think I could create a field that was padded with zeros - and
sort using that.
I was hoping I could keep it out of the source document - but I haven't
figured out how I can do some scripted formatting yet - using perhaps a
multi-field.

I would greatly appreciate any cunning tricks that could be used to get
this done.

may be using a script score function? http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html#_script_score

I meant sort script: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-sort.html#_script_based_sorting

although score script should help as well.
