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
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.

Thanks Eric for your reply. I am aware of facet.sort, but I haven't used it.
I will try that though.
Can it handle the values below in the correct order?
Under 10
10 - 20
20 - 30
Above 30
Or
Small
Medium
Large
XL
...
My second question is that if Solr can't do that for the values above by
using
No, it can not. It just sorts alphabetically, actually by raw byte-order.
No other facet sorting functionality is available, and it would be
tricky to implement in a performant way because of the way lucene
works. But it would certainly be useful to me too if someone could
figure out a way
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. (Not sure if it's feasible though just
have you looked at the facet.sort parameter? The index value is what I
think you want.
Best

Hi, guys,
Is there anyway to sort differently for facet values? For example,
sometimes
I want to sort facet values by their values
