Is there a way to prevent user accessing sort:field url if I use paginator? I want deny sorting because I got millions of rows and it’s really slow sorting unindexed fields.

Simply remove the paginator link in the view. So instead of
<th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('name');?></th>just use<th>Name</th>The users can still sort by name, but as long as it’s not a security issue, it’s fine.
If you really need to prevent sorting on particular columns, or allow only on some columns, filter
$this->params['url']and$this->passedArgs(you have to remove from both of them)
