: Is there any way I can group category information together? So that I : know the category_id for the specific category_name?
when dealing with stored fields, Solr garuntees that the field values arereturned in the order they were indexed - so if you have a multivalue "cat_id" field and a multivalued "cat_name" field and you index the docs so that they "line up" (the first value in the cat_id" field is for the first value in the "cat_name" field) then you can trust that they'll still be aligned when you get the docs back later. but that doesn't neccessarily help you for displaying facet counts for "cat_id" using the the "cat_name" labels ... the first page of results probably won't contain at least one doc from every category. The simplest solution: don't facet on cat_id, facet on cat_name instead. In general, this is where the limits of the "SimpleFacets" class come into play ... a more complex implementation would know about hierarchies or values, and labels for index values, and other metadata. -Hoss
