You are right, I left out a few important bits there. Tried to be brief and succeeding in being vague? :) Effectively I was ordering the facet based on the N documents in the current "page". My thought that his was a good feature for a facet now seems incorrect, as my needs are limited to the current page, not the whole set of results. I'll probably elect to fetching data from the facets based on the page of documents I'm showing. Thanks for the discussion, it helped! :) Cory G Watson http://www.onemogin.com
