Subject: Re: sorting tokenized field
Since I am not aware of the lucene code much, I couldn't make much out of your patch. But is this patch already tested and proved to be efficient? If so, why can't it be merge into the lucene code and made it part of the release. I think the bug is valid. Its very likely that people want to sort on tokenized fields.
If I apply this patch to lucene code and use it for myself, I will have hard time managing it in future (while upgrading lucene library). If the pathc is applied to lucene release code, it would be very easy for the lucene users.
If possible, can someone explain what the path does? I am trying to understand what exactly changed but could not figrue out.

I have suggested a solution for this problem ( http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30382 ) you can use the patch suggested there and recompile lucene.

In order to sort tokenized field, either the application has to duplicate field with diff name and not tokenize it or come up with something else. But shouldn't the search engine takecare of this? Are there any plans of putting this functionality built into lucene?
It would be wasteful for Lucene to assume any field you add should be available for sorting.
Adding one more line to your indexing code to accommodate your sorting needs seems a pretty small price to pay. Do you have suggestions to improve how this works? Or how it is documented?
