We have facet.sort=true however our hierarchical fields are being
sorted alphabetically instead of by count.
Here is the field type and field definitions:
fieldType name=hierarchy class=solr.HierarchicalFacetField
omitNorms=true positionIncrementGap=0 indexed=true
stored=false delimiter=//
What version of Solr are you using?
I just tried this with the latest 1.4-dev version, and it works fine.

Note that facet.sort=true/false has been deprecated in Solr 1.4
