If its not added to the release code already, is there any reason for it being not added. Seems like many people agree that this is an important functionality of sorting.

Its just that I can't get permission to use customized libraries in our company. Either we have to use the library as is or implement our own stuff. We don't want to go into the pains of maintaining the 3rd party library code whenever we migrate from one version to other. I would assume everyone would have the same problem.

Is there any possibility this patch contributed by Aviran can be added to the actual release branch.

Thanks
Praveen

The patch is very simple.

What is does is it checks if the field you want to sort on is tokenized. If
it is it loads the values from the documents to the sorting table.

The only con in this approach is that loading the values this way is much
slower than if the values where Keywords, but other than that it should work
just fine.

Since I am not aware of the lucene code much, I couldn't make much out
of
your patch. But is this patch already tested and proved to be efficient?
If so, why can't it be merge into the lucene code and made it part of the
release. I think the bug is valid. Its very likely that people want to
sort on tokenized fields.

If I apply this patch to lucene code and use it for myself, I will
have
hard time managing it in future (while upgrading lucene library). If the
pathc is applied to lucene release code, it would be very easy for the
lucene users.

If possible, can someone explain what the path does? I am trying to
understand what exactly changed but could not figrue out.

I have suggested a solution for this problem (
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30382 ) you can use
the  patch suggested there and recompile lucene.

I read that the tokenised fields cannot be sorted. In order to sort

shouldn't the search engine takecare of this? Are there any plans of
putting this functionality built into lucene?

It would be wasteful for Lucene to assume any field you add should be available for sorting.

Adding one more line to your indexing code to accommodate your
sorting needs seems a pretty small price to pay.  Do you have suggestions
to
improve how this works?   Or how it is documented?
