: Just checking - it seems that only indexed fields can specified for : sorting purposes in the query string, or at least that's what I'm : seeing for a date field.
correct -- Solr uses Lucene's built in sorting, and Lucene requires that the field be indexed and un-tokenized. : Is this correct? Did I miss this info on the wiki someplace? I'll add it. : And if it is the case, then it would be handy for : StandardRequestHandler to return an error if an invalid request such : as this (sorting by non-indexed field) is requested. Could you do me a favor and file that in Jira as a feature request? I remember looking at doing that a while back and thinking it required more then just a quick change to the RequestHandler. -Hoss
