When I do a search using q=*:* and then narrow down the result set using
a filter query, are there rules that are used for the sort order in the
result set? In my results I have a "name" field that appears to be
sorted descending in lexicographical order. For example:
<doc><str name="name">Wyoming</str></doc>
<doc><str name="name">Wynford</str></doc>
<doc><str name="name">Wrightstown</str></doc>
The field declaration is:
<field name="name" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"> and this is
the first field that is defined that is of type text. I'm assuming the
ordering is arbitrary. I can easily setup a new field for sorting based
on the "string" type, but I'm curious what rules are deciding the sort
order in this example.
I'm using the dismax and the 1.4 release.
