I am new to lucene, and trying to perform a sorted query on a list of
people's names. Lucene seem unable to properly sort on the name field of my
indexed documents. If I sort by the other (shorter) fields, it seems to
work fine. The name sort seems to be close, almost like the last few
iterations through the sort loop are not being done.
How are you indexing the name field? (code please :)
The records are
obviously not in the normally random order, but not fully sorted either.
Normally random order?! The natural (not using a Sort) order is by score (also called relevance). Nothing random about it at all. In fact, this ordering is very special! See the Javadocs on the Similarity class for details of the formula.
Are their known limitations in the sorting functionality that I am running
into? I can provide more details if needed.
No limitations that I know if. Some bugs have been fixed, so be sure you're using Lucene 1.4.1, and not just 1.4, but please report back with more details if this issue still occurs in 1.4.1.
