Hi, By default solr is using the sort parameter over the "score field". So if you overwrite it using other sort field, yes solr will use the parameter you've provided. Remember, you can use multiple fields for sorting<http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#sort> so you can make something like: sort score desc, your_field1 asc, your_field2 desc....
The score of documents is calculated on every query (it does not depend on the sort parameter or the debugQueryParameter) and the debubQuery is only a mechanism for showing (or hidding) how score was calculated. If you want to see a document score for a particular query (apart from the debugQuery) you can ask for it in the solr response adding the parameter *fl=*,score* to your request. Regards.
