Re: Is there anyway to sort differently for facet values?
you can give it a try with the facet.sort. We had such a requirement for sorting facets by order determined by other field and had to resort to a very crude way to get through it. We pre-pended the facets values with the order in which it had to be displayed ... and used the facet.sort to sort alphabetically. e.g. prepend Small - 0_Small, Medium - 1_Medium, Large - 2_Large, XL - 3_XL You would need to handle the display part though. Surely not the best way, but worked for us.

Re: Is there anyway to sort differently for facet values?
That's right. It should work if I already know these values ahead of time, however I want to use business rules to control display orders for different search terms. Maybe I have to code it by myself. Thanks everyone. On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 12:25 AM, Jayendra Patil jayendra.patil@gmail.com wrote: you can give it a try with the facet.sort.

No, it can not. It just sorts alphabetically, actually by raw byte-order.

It can be achieved by creating own (app specific) custom comparators for fields defined in schema.xml and having an extra attribute to specify the comparator class in the field tag itself. But it will require changes in the Solr to support this feature.
