I'd like to be able to sort documents based on date. For ascending sort, the first date in the future relative to the time of the search would be used as the sort date. If all dates are in the past, the last date should be used. For descending sort, the opposite . . .
document 1: id: 1 date: 2008-03-10 11am, 2008-03-10 3pm, 2008-04-10 11am document 2: id: 2 date: 2008-02-10 12pm, 2008-03-10 1pm, 2008-03-11 12pm, 2008-03-11 1pm, 2008-04-02 12pm at 11:30am on 2008-03-10, doc2 sort before doc1 in an ascending sort and at 1:30pm, doc1 would sort before doc2 It appears that adding sort functions would be done in Lucene, and not in solr. I'm not sure I want to go down that path, so I'm wondering if there's a way to accomplish this with solr. From recent discussions, it sounds like I might be able to do this with some boost magic. Unfortunately, I haven't found any examples of boosting that seem close to what I want to do. thanks, joshua -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -- Dr. Seuss
