Hi Pete Still think facets are what you need. We use facets to identify the most common tags for documents in our library. I use them to print the top 25 most common document tags. The sort by count (the default) gives you the one with the highest count first and then the next most common and

Pete Surely the default sort order for facets is by descending count order. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters. If your results are really sorted in ascending order can't you sort them externally eg Java? Hope that helps. Shaun

Thanks for the note, Shaun, but the documentation indicates that the sorting is only in ascending order :-( facet.sort This param determines the ordering of the facet field constraints. • count - sort the constraints by count (highest count first) • index - to return the

Would grouping solve this? I'd rather not move to a pre-release solr ... To clarify the problem: The data are fine and not duplicated - however, I want to analyze the data, and summarize one field (kind of like faceting), to understand what the largest value is. For example: Document 1:

I think you can specify the in-group sort, and specify a very small number (perhaps even one) to go in each group. But you'd have to store the length of each body and sort by that. I'm pretty sure grouping is trunk-only. The problem here is getting something that applies just within the group
