The obvious way is to use use MatchAllDocsQuery with Sort parameters on the searcher, e.g.
searcher.search(new MatchAllDocsQuery(),sort); If you only care about 1 sort spec (e.g. no secondary sort to break ties) it may be faster just traversing the term table since that is already sorted. -John On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 11:12 PM, Shivaraj Tenginakai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I have a usecase in which I have no search query, but still need to sort > documents.
