: However, the moment I add sort, I get an exception (listed at the : bottom of this email.) Then I tried with "sort=score" and the : exception still happens. I'm sure it's due to my ignorance because : sort must be a well tested parameter. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 as yonik said, you need a sort direction ... but i'm curious which version of Solr you are using, for as long as i can remmeber dismax has logged Sort parsing errors but "ignored" them and returned results anyway using the default sort. StandardRequest handler on the other hand returns a 400 error page with "Missing sort order." as the message (i thought that was in 1.1, but aparently it wasn't official until 1.2) -Hoss
