: I'm facing a problem with multiple field sort in Solr. I'm using the : following fields in sort : : : PublishDate asc,DocumentType asc
correction: you are using: PublishDate desc,DocumentType desc : The sort is only happening on PublishDate, DocumentType seemsto completely : ignored. Here's my field type definition. the results you posted are perfectly sorted according to the criteria in your URL... 2015-01-17, 2014-11-17, 2013-01-17, 2012-10-17, 2012-01-17, 2011-01-17, then 2 docs from 2006-01-17 correctly ordered by secondary sort: "O" before "H". ...did you not post the query/results you ment to post? what exactly is it about the result ordering that you are getting do you think is incorrect? : <result name="response" numFound="8" start="0"> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2015-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Hotfixes</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2014-11-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Hotfixes</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2013-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Tutorials</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2012-10-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Service Packs</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2012-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Tutorials</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2011-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Tutorials </str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2006-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Object Enablers</str> : </doc> : <doc> : <date name="PublishDate">2006-01-17T00:00:00Z</date> : <str name="DocumentType">Hotfixes</str> : </doc> : </result> : : As you can see, the sorting happened only on PublishDate. I'm using Solr : 4.7. : : Not sure what I'm missing here, any pointers will be appreciated. : : Thanks, : Shamik : -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
