: Is there a way to specify sort criteria through Solr admin ui. I tried : doing it thorugh the query statement box but it did not work.
the search box on the admin gui is fairly limited ... it's jsut a quick dirty way to run test queries. other options like sorting, filtering, and faceting need to be added by hand when hitting solr via a browser. you can just add "&sort=your_sort_field+desc" to your query URLs to get sorted resutls. -Hoss
