Hi Alex,
Lucene has this capability (borrowed from Nutch) under org.apache.lucene.index.sorter package.I think it has been integrated into Solr, but could not find the Jira issue.

I'm interested in managing the index so that the search results would be naturally sorted by a certain numeric field, without specifying the actual sort field in query time. My first attempt was using SortingMergePolicyFactory. I've found that this provides only partial success. The results were occasionally sorted, but overall there where 'jumps' in the ordering. After some research I've found this excellent blog post <http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/02/visualizing-lucenes-segment-merges.html> that taught me that TieredMergePolicy merges non consecutive segments, and thus creating several segments with interlacing ordering. I've tried replacing the merge policy to LogByteSizeMergePolicy, but results are still inconsistent. The post is from 2011, and it's not clear to me whether today LogByteSizeMergePolicy merges only consecutive segments, or it can merge non consecutive segments as well. Is there an approach that will allow me achieve this goal? Solr version: 6.0 Thanks, Alex. -- Sent from: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-User-f472068.html
