Hi. I'm trying to sort on computed values that my QParserPlugin creates. I've
found out that I can make it happen by adding a fake scorer to the delegates
before collect() is called. The problem I have now is how to modify the sort
field in mid stream?

The user selects COUNT as a sort field, but of course that is not a real
field. I can examine the SolrParams and see that COUNT is the sort field. I
can use that info to build my document scores properly for the computed
counts. But the search still sorts on COUNT (which produces an error of
course).

If I only had one computed value to worry about for sorting, I could change
"COUNT" to "score" before the query request is initiated and all would be
well. But I have 2 computed values - so I need to know which one was
selected by the user.

Will any of these ideas work?
1) Pass some dynamic data to my Plugin that will tell me what the user wants
to sort on, and set sort=score in the search request?
2) Change the sort param within my plugin (from COUNT or SPEND to score)?
(using Solr 4.9)
