Thanks everyone for your replies! Guess I did not fully understand the meaning of "natural order" in the Lucene Java doc.
To add another all-lower-case field for each sortable field in my index is a little too much, since the app requires sorting on pretty much all fields (over 100). Toke, you mentioned "Using a Collator works but does take a fair amount of memory", can you please elaborate a little more on that. Thanks.

It's worth noting that this implies that default sorting does not produce usable results as soon as you use non-ASCII characters. Using a Collator works but does take a fair amount of memory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
