In the contributions area, there is a project called SearchBean which will handle most of the sorting issues for you. It does a full scan at startup (for 100K doc about 5-10 seconds) and stores the field to be sorted in an array. Then it can get access to the sorted field value much faster then hits.get(i).
I hope this helps

I am indexing documents (about 7 different document types) and must display the results alphabetically by title field... which is generally not one of the search fields.
Currently I am calling hits.get(i) on each document to find the title, and then sorting by title. Sort is fast, but calling hits.get(i) n times is too slow beyond about 400 objects... and this approach means I have to do a "full scan" of the Hits collection.
Anyone have any suggestions/strategies on solving this? (Or is there functionality already in place I have overlooked?)
Thanks for any input,
Eoin
