This is not a definitive answer, but what you are retrieving is the stored versions of those fields. When the document is indexed, it will also store the multi-valued values of that field. I see no reason why at index time it should re-order them - it just writes them to the index in the order they are found. Solr (or Lucene rather) once a document has been written, will never rewrite it, so it seems perfectly reasonable to expect stored multi-valued fields to return in the same order.
When it comes to indexed terms, that's a different matter. Upayavira On Tue, Dec 18, 2012, at 07:59 AM, hellorsanjeev wrote: > Hi - We have been using solr since over an year.
