I am running into the following problem discussed and fixed in the current Lucene Java version:
"While sorting results over a numeric field, documents which do not contain a value for the sorting field seem to get 0 (ZERO) value in the sort. (Tested against Double, Float, Int & Long numeric fields ascending and descending order). This behavior is unexpected, as zero is "comparable" to the rest of the values. A better solution would either be allowing the user to define such a "non-value" default, or always bring those document results as the last ones." Is this something that can get into Lucene.Net soon? See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3390 for complete information on the Lucene issue and fix.
