This question, one of Lucene usage rather than of development, really
belongs on the java-user list instead of java-dev.
I'm guessing that the sort field you're using is tokenized - if so, this
is a problem.
>From the org.apache.lucene.search.Sort API documentation[1]:
The fields used to determine sort order must be carefully chosen.
Documents must contain a single term in such a field .... The field
must be indexed, but should not be tokenized, and does not need to
be stored (unless you happen to want it back with the rest of your
document data). In other words:
document.add(new Fieldable("byNumber", Integer.toString(x),
Fieldable.Store.NO, Fieldable.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));
Your options (in order of likely quickest results):
1. Switch the field to be sorted so that it is not tokenized. Things
will likely "just work" if you do this.
2. If the field you're using must remain tokenized, add a new field that
is a duplicate of the current sort field, but make it untokenized, and
then make this new field the one you sort on.
3. There is an ongoing discussion at issue #252 in JIRA[2] that may be
of interest to you if neither of the above options is feasible.
