>>Well, sorting requires that all the unique values in the target field >>get loaded into memory That's what I tought, thanks.

I claim that >>you do care I just like play with things. First checked the behavior of sorting on multiValued field and what I noticed was, let's say you have docs with field called 'num': doc1->num:2;doc2->num:1,num:4;doc3->num:5 Sorting by the field num what you get is: After sorting asc I get: doc2,doc1,doc3. The behavior seems to be always the same (I am not saying it works like that but it's what I've seen in my examples) After seeing that I just decided to check the performance. The point is simply curiosity. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/performance-sorting-multivalued-field-tp905943p913626.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
