: Yes, I thought about adding some 'new syntax', but I opted for a separate 'facet.sortorder' parameter, : : mainly because I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to know what effect this might have on : : backward compatibility. It would be easy enough to modify the patch I created to do it this way.
it shouldn't really affect anything -- it wouldn't really be new syntax, just extending hte existing "sort" param syntax to apply to the "facet.sort" param. The only back compat concern is making sure we continue to support true/false as aliases, and having the default order match the current bahvior if asc/desc aren't specified. -Hoss
