I'm pretty sure. The other characters sorted according to the ASCII sequence. It's only the slash sorted before the space. That's why I wonder whether slash is treated differently.
Btw, this is the statement the sort field is added to the document. doc.add(Field.UnIndexed("_s" + sortField, sortableData )); While I was debugging this statement using Eclipse, I could see what was in sortableData. One had "/" and the other a space in the same position.
