Hi

I have a numeric field (say "weight") and I d'like to be able to get
results sorted.
q=kind:animal weight:50
pf=kind^2 weight^3

would return:
name=dog, kind=animal, weight=51
name=tiger, kind=animal,weight=150
name=elephant, kind=animal,weight=2000


In other terms how to deal with numeric fields ?

My first idea is to encode numeric into letters (one x per value)
dog xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
tiger xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
elephant 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and the query would be
kind:animal, weight:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


How to deal with numeric fields ?

Thanks
