The easiest way is to have a separate field for sorting. Make it DocValue as well for faster sorting performance.
Then, you have an Update Request Processor (URP) chain and in it you clone the field and choose the most appropriate value (smallest). There are URPs for that, e.g. http://www.solr-start.com/info/update-request-processors/#MinFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory Regards, Alex. ---- Solr Analyzers, Tokenizers, Filters, URPs and even a newsletter: http://www.solr-start.com/ On 12 May 2015 at 16:22, nutchsolruser <nutchsolru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there any way we can sort multivalued field in Solr.
