As soon as you specify in the schema that a field has docValues=true, Solr treats all existing documents as having docValues enabled for that field. As there is no docValue content, DocValues-aware functionality such as sorting and faceting will not work for that field, until the documents has been re-indexed. - Toke Eskildsen
