Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-2134:
-------------------------------------

I have not closely looked into it (because the Solr sorting stuff is out of my 
scope), but I have one comment about floats and doubles:
The problem with the approach of setting infinity as replacement value is, that 
NaN values are still undefined and may be ordered before/after these infinity 
values. But I think the problem is minor.
The same problem applies if you have infinity itsself or for long/double 
min/max values as field value, then the sorting is also undefined (the not set 
values should go after/before all real infinities).

> Trie* fields should support sortMissingLast=true, and deprecate Sortable* 
> Field Types

> With the changes in LUCENE-2649, the FieldCache also returns if the bit is 
> valid or not.  This is enough to support sortMissingLast=true with Trie* 
> fields.  Then we can get rid of the Sortable* fields
