: Has anyone given any thought to alphabetical faceting?
if by alphabetical you mean the natural unicode ordering of terms for
facet.field type facets -- that's already supported.
It's the default sort if there is no facet limit (ie: facet.limit=-1) but
even with a limit it can be explicitly turned on with facet.sort=false
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#head-569f93fb24ec41b061e37c702203c99d8853d5f1
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*%3A*&facet=true&facet.field=cat&rows=0&facet.limit=5&facet.sort=false
perfect!
I read that, but did not realize "natural index order" is alphabetical
in the ascii range.
