I've come up with an implementation for doing arbitrary sorting in lucene - it is an implementation of PriorityQueue that can sort by an arbitrary field as well as the computed relevancy. It is quite speedy and should be faster than doing a sort in the appplication after getting the results back from lucene.
I thought I'd make this available to the lucene community - what is the best way to do this? Should it go in "Contributions", or "Sandbox"? The meat of it for version 0.1 is four classes which subclass existing lucene classes, and one modification to an existing lucene class to make the constructor public so it can be subclassed. So really what it means is adding additional API by "jar -uf lucene.jar ..."
