Hoss Man commented on SOLR-2431:
--------------------------------
while this wouldn't be hard, it doesn't really seem like there would be any
real gain.
my general rule of thumb is that solr should focus on doing things server side
that would be more expensive/impractical to do on the client side.
generating facet constraint counts, and sorting those facet constraints are
things the client can't do efficiently (without downloading all of the docs).
but sorting a fixed list of N items that are all being returned to the client
is something the client *can* do just as efficiently as solr, so we might as
well offload the work to them. (just like formatting dates/numbers into a
specific timezone/locale, etc...)
> Would like to have 2 sorting parameters for Facets - one for order, and one
> for display

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: search
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Bill Bell
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Since 1.4, facet.sort=index and count exist.
> I would like to add facet.display=alpha to change the order.
> Use case:
> I want to output 10 facet terms from highest to lowest count. i.e.
> facet.sort=count&facet.limit=10
> But I want the actual order to be alphabetical. i.e. facet.display=index
> Otherwise our program needs to get the list, and sort it on the client side.
