Would specifying "reverse" work, like
*Sort<file:///C:/lucene-2.1.0/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Sort.html#Sort%28java.lang.String,%20boolean%29> *(String <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/String.html> field, boolean reverse) where the field is your timeOfIndexing field? You are guaranteed that document ID order is invariant, even though the IDs may change. That is, for any two documents if doc1 was indexed before doc2, docID1 < docID2. Although I don't see any way to specify a sort object that reverses the INDEX_ORDER... hmmmm... Erick On 5/26/07, jafarim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi folks, - I am wondering whether there is any mechanism to specify the sorting direction (i.e. ascending/descending) without being obliged to make a custom Sorter. I add a "timeOfIndexing" field in order that I can retrive results based ob recentness later. But the sorter sorts in an ascending manner and hence, old results are top results. - Can I count on Sorter.INDEX_ORDER instead of "timeOfIndexing" field for this purpose? regards, --jaf
