Well, I set out to write JUnit test case to quickly show this... but I'm having a heck of a time doing it. With relatively small numbers of documents containing very few fields... I haven't been able to recreate the out-of-order problem. However, with my real process, with a ton more data, I can recreate it every single time I index (it even gets the same documents out of order, consistently).
I'll continue to try to generate a test case that gets the docs out of order... but if someone in the know could answer authoritatively whether or not lucene is supposed to maintain document order when you merge multiple indexes together, that would be great.
