So now I did the following :
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?indent=on&q=car%20power%20adaptor&sort=idRank%20desc&fl=id,score,name
Yet, it's not taking idRank into account, it's just giving the results
according to the score.
Also, when I try to output idRank by including it in the fl (i.e. fl=id,
score,name,idRank), it does not display idRank (only displays the id, score and
name)
