Hi, I *think* you can't do this without reindexing that field as a proper type.

Is there some way / syntax which can be given in the search query so that the string type field can be treated as numeric and the correct results can be displayed. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/To-associate-sort-criteria-with-the-search--query-having-fields-of-type-String%28-required-to-be-treated-as-numeric%29-tp20481627p20481627.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
