Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-764:
-----------------------------------

"lex" originally made sense to me because it is index order, which is 
lexicographic for the indexed tokens (but not for the human-readable values).
So an "integer" field will sort the terms as 0,100,2
while an "sint" field will show 0,2,100

It's not as simple to just "do the right thing" since it would carry a 
significant performance penalty (and that's something we shouldn't cover up or 
just automatically do).

Perhaps a better name for "lex" would be "index"?

> Support facet.sort=false (index order) with distributed search
