RE: Sorting by vale of field

[Michael Ryan]

You could try adding a new int field (like typeSort) that has the desired 
sort values. So when adding a document with type:car, also add typeSort:1; when 
adding type:van, also add typeSort:2; etc. Then you could do sort=typeSort 
asc to get them in your desired order.

I think this is also possible with custom function queries, but I've never done 
that.

Thanks,
Yes this is the work around I am currently doing.
 Still wondering is the sort method can be used alone.
