Wolf Siberski commented on LUCENE-1524:
---------------------------------------
The usual semantics for sort is that items with the same score are in random
order (not only for Lucene). The semantics you propose essentially model the
assumption that users prefer documents with lower id when they have the same
score. If this assumption holds for your application, you can use the approach
suggested by Michael and explicitly express it in the query. But to force it
onto all users of Lucene doesn't seem to be a good solution.
