Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1872:
--------------------------------------------
bq. About the second one: Sorting is not different from other numeric
multi-value fields (in contrast to StringIndex where only one value/doc is
allowed). The univerter assigns a value to each document. As it overrides
values previously assigned to the document when iterating over all terms in the
field, the last term would be the one saved in the FieldCache. So you would
sort against the largest value per doc (because the smaller values are
overridden by the larger ones in the field cache).
Ahh right.
I'm confused on why it's the "largest" value? EG if I add 4, 17, 10 as a
NumericField "x" on my doc, when I then try to sort, wouldn't 10 "win" since it
was added last to the document?
