In Lucene you have to use the new DocValues fields (available since 4.0) to sort on.
For backwards compatibility, you can still use the older "uninversion" hack (also known as "Field Cache"). In Lucene 5 and 6 this part was removed from Lucene Core. To sort, you have 2 options: - Reindex your stuff with DocValues fields enabled. This new field type is optimized for random access as used by sorting. This is the recommended approach. - Alternatively you can use UninvertingReader from the misc module and wrap your index reader. This "emulates" the DocValues APIs on indexes without DocValues. Internally it uses the old FieldCache code to do this. This has the same problems as earlier Lucene versions: Heavy heap usage and slow uninversion of field values. To use it you must wrap every segment of your index separately (e.g. by implementing FilterDirectoryReader) using https://lucene.apache.org/core/5_0_0/misc/org/apache/lucene/uninverting/UninvertingReader.html Erick: Solr has UninvertingReader used by default in SolrIndexSearcher.
