[SOLVED] How to sort PageArray by a field of first linked page in page reference field

I have a list of articles that I want to sort alphabetically by the author's lastname. The author(s) are linked to each article's page using a page reference field, and the author pages have a field for their lastname. Most articles have only one linked author page, but some may have more than one. For sorting, I only want to consider the first author in the list.

I'm stumped how to make this work.

$articles = page()->children('sort=FIRSTAUTHOR'); // ??

If I get one page from the list, I would be able to select the field I want to sort by like so:
 

foreach ($articles as $article) {
    $sortfield = $article->authors->first()->lastname;
}

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!
