Am I understanding your problem correctly? If you have two hits:
Hit A score = .7876546 rounded score = .79 date 2006Feb01 Hit B score = .7907536 rounded score = .79 date 2006Jan01 You would like to have the hits sorted as A, B but you are getting the hits in the order B, A because they are sorted before you are able to round off the scores. I've not used the sorting code yet, but it looks like you have to provide some custom ScoreDocComparator by adding a SortField using the SortField(String field, SortComparatorSource comparator) constructor. I'm just not certain what you should specify for the field value since you really want to just round off the score. Could someone with more experience using the Sort API clarify whether this is possible? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 7:24 AM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Sorting by Score My primary sort is by relevance score and my secondary sort is by date. The Hits.getScore() method returns the score by 7 digits to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, If I round to only 2 decimal points in the display, the underlying 7 point score will be different in the sort. Example: score = .7876546 Display score = 79% The two scores should be equal in sort. score = .7907536 Display score = 79% How do I convert the score in the Hits.getScore() method to sort to the rounded 2 decimal point float like the score displayed? Any help will be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daniel Clark, Senior Consultant Sybase Federal Professional Services 6550 Rock Spring Drive, Suite 800 Bethesda, MD 20817 Office - (301) 896-1103 Office Fax - (301) 896-1604 Mobile - (703) 403-0340 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
