Solr seems to be using partial words to do sort by

[Michael Hayes]

I am trying what I think is a very simple sort with Solr but my results are 
confusing.  It appears that Solr is using any word in the field I want to sort 
on to do the sort.  I am returning only the sorted field (just for this 
example) and asking that it be sorted desc. I am using Solr 1.4.1

Here is my query:

http://localhost:8280/solr/catalogProductSearch/select/?facet=true&fl=title&sort=title%20desc&start=1&q=category_level1:%28%22Fiction*Historical%22%29&wt=xml&rows=15&version=2.2

I have attached my schema.xml and a text file with my results.

I am assuming it has to do with my schema config but i am stumped as to what it 
might be.

Any thoughts?
