Hi Srinivas,
I have just tried your code and I think I found the problem.
You didn't create the global array that is required. If you uncomment the
line
SortedField.addField("mydate",indexStore);
This will create a sort order based on the date.
Then if you run your tests it will work. I just tried it and it works for
me.
This generic mechanism should allow you to sort by as many fields as you
want.
I hope this helps.
