Sorting facets
My apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn't see it in the FAQ, tutorial or wiki or the solr-user mail archives. The explanation for sorting the documents returned by a search is quite straight foward. I'm currently seeing the facets arriving in a more random order. Is the expectation that the code processing the result will apply its own sorts to the facet lists? or is there some other option I'm overlooking? Walter Lewis

For facet.field, If you don't put a limit on the number of facets (via facet.limit or f.field.facet.limit) they won't be sorted. -Yonik

Is there any way to make that sort alphabetical? I have a tag cloud style display in mind. Walter
