: Greetings. I am using Solr 3.4.0 with tomcat 7.0.22. I've been using : these versions successfully for a while, but on my latest project, I cannot : sort ANY field without getting this exception: : : SEVERE: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: can not sort on multivalued
... : The thing is, I have only one multivalued field in my schema, at least, I : thought so. I even tried sorting on id, which is the unique key, and got : the same error. Here are the fields in my schema: a) multiValued can be set on fieldType and is then inherited by the fields b) Check the "version" property on your <schema/> tag. If the value is "1.0" then all fields are assumed to be multiValued. Here's the comment from the example schema included with Solr 3.4... <schema name="example" version="1.4"> <!-- attribute "name" is the name of this schema and is only used for display purposes. Applications should change this to reflect the nature of the search collection. version="1.4" is Solr's version number for the schema syntax and semantics. It should not normally be changed by applications. 1.0: multiValued attribute did not exist, all fields are multiValued by nature 1.1: multiValued attribute introduced, false by default 1.2: omitTermFreqAndPositions attribute introduced, true by default except for text fields. 1.3: removed optional field compress feature 1.4: default auto-phrase (QueryParser feature) to off --> -Hoss
