: But actually, something like that only works for text field types that : you can specify an analyzer for. To sort by the integer value, you : need an integer field.
we should really fix that so any FieldType can have an analyzer and treat Tokens produced just like multivalued fields are right now. (I remember breifly looking into it a while back and got frustrated because i couldn't figure out where in the code the limitation was.) -Hoss
