sorry Eric... I did not phrase it right ... what I meant was the field is there in the schema, but I do not have values for it when normal indexing happens. When a query comes in, I want to populate value for this field in the results based on some values passed in the query. So what needs to be accommodated in the result depends on a parameter in the query and I would like to sort the final results on this field also, which is dynamically populated.
What could be the best way to dynamically add value to this field based on a query parameter and sort on this field also. Will a custom component help, with code in the *process *method to access the results one by one and plug in this field help? If so do I need to first index the value inside the *process *method for reach result or is there a way to just add this value to each of my results doc (no indexing) iterating through the result set and plugging in this value for each result. How will sort be applicable on this dynamically populated field as I am already working on the results and is it too late to specify a sort and if so how could it be possible. Thanks! Mark.
