: I am trying to do a facet search and sort the facet values too.
...
: Then I followed the sample example schema.xml, created a copyField of type
...
: <fieldType name="alphaOnlySort" class="solr.TextField"
: sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true">
...
: But the sorted facet values dont have their case preserved anymore.

: How can I get around this?
Did you look at how/why/when alphaOnlySort is used in the example?
The FAQ entry you refered to address almost the exact same scnerio with
wanting to search/sort on the same data...
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FAQ#Why_Isn.27t_Sorting_Working_on_my_Text_Fields.3F
"...the simplest thing to do is to use copyField to index a second version
of your field using the StrField class."
So have one version of your field using StrField that you facet on, and
copyField that to another version (using TextField and
KeywordTokenizer) that you sort on.
