Right - before 1.4. There is no "integer" field type in 1.4 and beyond in the example schema. > You can not sort on this and get what you want.

You can sort on it... you just can't do range queries on it because the term order isn't correct for numerics. It's there only for support of legacy lucene indexes that indexed numerics as plain strings. They are now named "pint" for "plain integer" in 1.4 and above. Perhaps we should retain support for that, but remove them from the example schema and only document them somewhere (under "supporting lucene indexed built by other software" or something?) -Yonik http://lucenerevolution.org Lucene/Solr Conference, Boston Oct 7-8
