No, the reverse is true. Sorting is very very fast in Lucene. The
first sort operation spends a lot of time making a data structure and
then following sort calls use it.

Hi,
I am working on index-time boosting.
I have a field named approval_dt. I have created that field in my SOLR xml
to be uploaded, by sorting my query in ascending order of approval_dt and
then increasing the boost for this field by 0.1 as i encounter new records
from database. In my schema.xml
proper sorted results. Could anyone suggest whether I am doing
something wrong.
thanks and rgds,
Anil.

by score after approval_dt.

approval_dt first.

will I be able to acheive the same thing i achieved
using sorting much faster if i use index-time boosting.
