As Hoss pointed out above, different projects have different requirements. Some want to sort by date of ingestion reverse, which means that having posting lists organized in a reverse order with the early termination is the way to go (no such feature in Solr directly). Some other projects want to collect all docs matching a query, and then sort by rank, but you cannot guarantee, that the most recently inserted document is the most relevant in terms of your ranking.
