Because a GIN index is useless for sorting.

No.

No.

Same reason.

So it's basically impossible to use FTS/GIN with sorting on large datasets?
Are there any plans to improve this situation?
 
I don't see why it would not be possible to create a new execution node type that does an index scan to obtain order (or just to satisfy an equality or range expression), and takes a bitmap (as produced by the FTS/GIN) to apply as a filter.  But, I don't know of anyone planning on doing that.
 
Isn't this what Postgres Pro are planning? http://postgrespro.com/roadmap/mssearch
 
"Unlike external special-purpose search engines, a full-text search engine built in a DBMS is capable of combining full-text and attributive search criteria in SQL query syntax. It is planned to improve the existing PostgreSQL full-text search engine by extending the functionality of Generalized Inverted Index (GIN) to make it capable of storing extra information required for ranging query results. This search acceleration will allow to go back from external full-text search engines, thus facilitating system administration and use, reducing technology risks, and improving information security."
