The ISOLatin1 filter "downconverts" these variants to the ASCII a letter. It does this in the index, not the stored data. This solves the Bjork/Bjork-umlaut problem: you can type either and find records for both. Sorting reads all of the indexed terms and sorts on them, so sorting will rate all four a letters as the same letter. The variants will be sorted in with the ASCII letter, but the variants will appear randomly in the output within the ASCII letter band. -----Original Message----- From: Feak, Todd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 2:45 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: Sorting on text-fields with international characters One option is to add an additional field for sorting. Create a copy of the field you want to sort on and modify the data you insert there so that it will sort the way you want it to. -ToddFeak -----Original Message----- From: Joel Karlsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 2:38 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Sorting on text-fields with international characters Hello, Is there any way to get Solr to sort properly on a text field containing international, in my case swedish, letters? It doesn't sort å,ä and ö in the proper order. Also, is there any way to get Solr to sort, i.e, á, à or â together with the "regular" a's? Thanks in advance! // Joel
