Hi, I don't know whether it is my setup or any other reasons. But the fact is that a very simple sort is not working in my Solr 4.7 environment.
The query is very simple : http://localhost:8983/solr/bibs/select?q=author:soros&fl=id,author,title&sort=title+asc&wt=xml&start=0&indent=true And the output is NOT sorted according to title : <response> <lst name="responseHeader"> <int name="status">0</int> <int name="QTime">1</int> <lst name="params"> <str name="sort">title asc</str> <str name="fl">id,author,title</str> <str name="indent">true</str> <str name="start">0</str> <str name="q">author:soros</str> <str name="wt">xml</str> </lst> </lst> <result name="response" numFound="13" start="0"> <doc> <str name="id">9018</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> </arr> <str name="title"> The alchemy of finance : reading the mind of the market / George Soros </str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">15785</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> <str>Soros Foundations</str> </arr> <str name="title">Bosnia / by George Soros</str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">16281</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> <str>Soros Foundations</str> </arr> <str name="title"> Prospect for European disintegration / by George Soros </str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">25807</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George</str> </arr> <str name="title"> Open society : reforming global capitalism / George Soros </str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">27440</str> <str name="title">George Soros on globalization</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> </arr> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">22254</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> </arr> <str name="title"> The crisis of global capitalism : open society endangered / George Soros </str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">16914</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> <str>Soros Fund Management</str> </arr> <str name="title">The theory of reflexivity / by George Soros</str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">17343</str> <str name="title"> Financial turmoil in Europe and the United States : essays / George Soros </str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> </arr> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">15542</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George, 1930-</str> <str>Harvard Club of New York City</str> </arr> <str name="title"> Nationalist dictatorships versus open society / by George Soros </str> </doc> <doc> <str name="id">15891</str> <arr name="author"> <str>Soros, George</str> </arr> <str name="title"> The new paradigm for financial markets : the credit crisis of 2008 and what it means / George Soros </str> </doc> </result> </response> Thank you for the help in advance, Simon.
