FACET_SORT_INDEX descending?
Is there any value for the "f.my_year_facet.facet.sort" parameter that will return the facet values in descending order? So far I only see "index" and "count" as the choices. http://lucene.apache.org/solr/api/org/apache/solr/common/params/FacetParams.html#FACET_SORT_INDEX Thanks.

Reverse alphabetical ordering. The option "index" provides alphabetical ordering. I have a year_facet field, that I would like to display in reverse order (most recent years first). Perhaps there is some other way to accomplish this.

Thanks for the answer and the alternative idea.--Gerald Chris Hostetter wrote: : Reverse alphabetical ordering. The option "index" provides alphabetical : ordering. be careful: "index" doesn't mean "alphabetical" -- it means the natural ordering of terms as they exist in the index. for non ascii characters this is not neccessarily something that could be considered alphabetical (or sensical in terms of the locale). The short answer is: no, there is no way to get "reverse" index order at the moment. : I have a year_facet field, that I would like to display in reverse order (most : recent years first). Perhaps there is some other way to accomplish this. the simplest way is to encode the year in some format thta will cause it to naturally sort in the order you want - so instead of indexing "1976" and "2007" you could index "8024:1976" and "7993:2007" and then only display the part that comes after the ":" -Hoss
Re: "begins with" searches
Are you using the field name suffixes like Blacklight?xxx_text, _xxx_facet, xxx_string? With the xxx_string field you can request "begins with" search, but you may need some different search term normalization than with a _text search. Gerald Snyder Florida Center for Library Automation Bernadette Houghton wrote: We need to offer "begins with" type searches, e.g. a search for "surname, f" will retrieve "surname, firstname", "surname, f", "surname fm" etc. Ideally, the user would be able to enter something like "surname f*". However, wildcards don't work on phrase searches, nor do range searches. Any suggestions as to how best to search for "begins with" phrases; or, how to best configure solr to support such searches?
