In lucene, all the data is stored as strings, so if you have a field
defined as integer or sint, in lucene are strings, and if you try to
sort numbers represented as strings what happens is this:
example numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.
ordered as strings: 1,10,11,12,13,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
That's why there is a field type called sint, that means sortable int.
Is the same as int with the difference that it will order the numbers
properly.
example numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.
order being int: 1,10,11,12,13,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
order being sint: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.

Subject: Re: sint in schema.xml
Hi,
I create own field name using integer field type and sint field
type(solr.SortableIntField) in schema.xml.
i can't differentiate between these two field type. When this sint exactly
use? If we use sint how it is sortable?
