Pardon the basicness of these questions, but I'm just getting started with SOLR and have a couple of confusions regarding sorting that I couldn't resolve based on the docs or an archive search.
1. There appears to be (at least) two ways to specify sorting, one involving an append to the q parm and the other using the sort parm. Are these exactly equivalent? http://localhost/solr/select/?q=martha;author+asc http://localhost/solr/select/?q=martha&sort=author+asc 2. The docs say that sorting can only be applied to non-multivalued fields. Does this mean that sorting won't work *at all* for multi-valued fields or only that the behaviour is indeterminate? Based on a brief test, sorting a multi-valued field appeared to work by picking an arbitrary value when multiple values are present and using that for the sort. I wanted to confirm that the expected behaviour is indeed to sort on something (with no guarantees as to what), as opposed to, say, dropping the record, putting the record with multi-values at the end with the missing valued records, or something else entirely. Thanks! Ron
