Lucene sorting is intended to sort documents relative to each other. So it makes no sense to allow sorts on tokenized fields in the Lucene context. Imagine the separate tokens in a field for doc1 of a, c and e, and for doc2 b, d and f. Where should doc1 go in relation to doc2 when sorting on that field? There's no good *general* answer that I've been able to see.
So I suspect you really want to do something that's not document sorting, and if you'd make a clearer statement of what you're trying to accomplish I'm sure you'd get better answers than mine. Best Erick On 4/10/07, Joe Tang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My task is to index lots of documents with different fields. Some of the fields are tokenized and are going to be sorted later on when a list of result set is need to particular field. Unfortunately, Lucene complains about sort on a tokenized field. So is there any way to get around of it?
