Solr simply returns the fields in the order that Java naturally stores the information, which from a user perspective, is not very predictable, and may change from one version of code to the next, or when Java is upgraded. I think that deciding information display order order is a job for client code. The application that makes the request to Solr can pick the pieces that need to be displayed to the user and decide what order they should be in. Thanks, Shawn
