What were you expecting ? Those results seems properly sorted to me for the little I see.
If you want to ignore some character and sort in a different way, you may be interested in possibly alternative field types. For example : <fieldType name="alphaOnlySort" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true"> <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" /> <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="([^a-z])" replacement="" replace="all" /> </analyzer> </fieldType> Cheers ----- --------------- Alessandro Benedetti Search Consultant, R&D Software Engineer, Director Sease Ltd. - www.sease.io -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Sort-by-field-Type-String-tp4320855p4320920.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
