Luke P Warwick commented on SOLR-9665:
--------------------------------------
Thanks Shawn. I think I need to split this into two stories. This one will
just become adding a third facet sort option: Numeric. I'll move the
Capitalization issue into a separate story (maybe a bug). I can't imagine that
current is the desired behavior.
> Facet Values Sort Order: Add 3rd choice: Alpha-Numeric Sort

> Key: SOLR-9665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9665
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: faceting
> Reporter: Luke P Warwick
>
> As a person, I need facet values to be in predictable, intuitive spots so
> that I can quickly and easily find the values that are appropriate to me.
> Problem Statement: Today Solr has two default facet sort orders, neither of
> which provides predicatable, intuitive facet value orders for people.
> Goal: Address two areas where index sorts facet values how a computer would
> rather than how a human would. Both are really problematic for very common
> E-commerce facets like size and brand.
> 1. Numbers need to be sorted from lowest to highest.
> Currently Index sorts facets 1,11,14,2,21,3,30...
> Numbers should be sorted 1,2,3,11,14,21,30 and so on
> 2. Capitalization should NOT impact sort order.
> currently index sorts facets that start with lower case below all facets that
> start with upper case. Many brands (for reasons unknown to me) start their
> brand name with a lower case letter (while I would like to punish these
> brands for this foolishness, I don't want to punish the innocent customers of
> these brands).
> Example:
> Today: Marmot,Patagonia,Smith,Zoot,majola,prAna
> Desired: majola,Marmot,Patagonia,prAna,Smith,Zoot
