YS> For string sorting, a FieldCache.StringIndex is used.

One option is to create your own YS> FieldCache that doesn't create/store that String[]. The int[] array here contains references to String[] and to populate it still all the field values need to be loaded and compared/sorted which is what I want to avoid. I guess my option is not to use FieldCache at all. -- Best regards, Artem http://sharehound.sourceforge.net sharehound, the open source filesystems indexer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
