Oh, and sorry to miss the sorting question. Lucene can sort search
results by String or numeric values. Field.Keyword(String,Date) can
only be sorted as a String though. If you truly want to index and
sort dates but don't need hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, then
index them as YYYYMMDD and you can then sort them as numerics, which
is much more resource friendly.

confirmed it.
How do I decode the Date when retrieving from Document object? Or
does it
not work in version 1.4.3? Also, does Lucene only sort String
values?
What ya need is a brand new copy of Lucene in Action :)
