You can sort like this (I believe that _version_ is the internal id/index number for the document, but you might want to verify)
In the Admin UI, enter the following in the sort field: _version_ asc You could also put an entry in the default searchHandler in solrconfig.xml to do this to every incoming query... This is the one that gets hit from "/select" It would look something like this although I haven't tested... Don't know if a colon is necessary or not between the fieldname and desc. <str name="sort">_version_ desc</str> And, of course, you can put it on the URL you are hitting if that's what you need to do.
