Can't get distance sorting to work in Lucene Spatial 4.10.3

[Simon Rainer]

Hi!

I have problems getting distance sorting to work in Lucene Spatial. (I'm using 
v4.10.3.) I'm following the SpatialExample.java from the Lucene docs. My code 
is below (it's Scala, but translates 1:1 into Java). When I run the query, 
results don't seem to be affected by the sorting at all. Changing the sort 
order from ascending to descending has no effect either.

I can't see any difference between what I'm doing and the offical example 
(except the use of the SearcherManager, but I've checked and that doesn't make 
a difference). Any hints appreciated!

Cheers,
Rainer


--- Code

Here's my code (Scala - but translates 1:1 into Java):

    val searcher = placeSearcherManager.acquire()
    val point = spatialCtx.makePoint(lat, lon)
    val args =
      new SpatialArgs(SpatialOperation.Intersects,
        spatialCtx.makeCircle(lon, lat, 
        DistanceUtils.dist2Degrees(100, DistanceUtils.EARTH_MEAN_RADIUS_KM)))

    val filter = spatialStrategy.makeFilter(args)

    // Here's what's supposed to set up distance sorting
    val valueSource = spatialStrategy.makeDistanceValueSource(point)
    val distanceSort = new 
Sort(valueSource.getSortField(false)).rewrite(searcher)

    try {  
      val topDocs = searcher.search(new MatchAllDocsQuery(), filter, limit, 
distanceSort) 
      val scoreDocs = topDocs.scoreDocs

      // Print the results
      scoreDocs.foreach(scoreDoc => {
        val doc = searcher.doc(scoreDoc.doc)
        val docPoint = 
spatialCtx.readShape(doc.get(spatialStrategy.getFieldName())).asInstanceOf[Point]
        val distance = 
spatialCtx.getDistCalc().distance(args.getShape.getCenter, docPoint)
        val distanceKM = DistanceUtils.degrees2Dist(distance, 
DistanceUtils.EARTH_EQUATORIAL_RADIUS_KM)
        Logger.info("distance: " + distanceKM)
      })
    } finally {
      placeSearcherManager.release(searcher)
    }
