"order" question on solr multi value field

[hellorsanjeev]

Hi - We have been using solr since over an year. Some of our fields are multi
valued. We are saving and retrieving data from those multi valued fields
perfectly fine assuming the order in which we save, we will get the values
in the same order.

The question is - Is it documented somewhere that Solr maintains the order
of values inserted into multi-valued field OR is it just by luck we are
getting them in insertion order? By my experience so far, it has always
maintained.

Thanks in advance.

thank you for quick response :)

I also have the same observation and I too believe that there is no reason
for Solr to reorder a multi value field.

But would you stay firm on your conclusion if I say that my multi value
field was indexed?

Please note - as per my one year experience with Solr, it always returned
the values in the insertions order irrespective of the fact that field was
indexed or not.

My main concern is because I couldn't find it documented anywhere, it might
happen that in Solr 4.0 or later, they start reordering them. If they do
then there will be a big problem for us :)
