Ahmet Arslan commented on LUCENE-6057:
--------------------------------------

Thanks Martin, for clarifying this! I has some cases where multiple documents 
get assigned to same score. Order of the documents was changing from core/index 
to core/index. So I thought sorting algorithm lucene use, is not stable (like 
heap sort, selection sort etc.).  But it looks like thats not the case? When 
default sort is used (sort by score/relevancy) internal lucene ids are used to 
break tie. And those ids cange during segment merge etc. Is it wrong to say 
that lucene uses a non-stable sort?
