I'm working on replacing a custom, internal search implementation with Solr. I'm having great success, with one small exception.
When implementing our version of faceting, one of our facets had a peculiar sort order. It was dictated by the order in which the field occurred in the results. The first time a value occurred it was added to the list and regardless of the number of times it occurred, it always stayed at the top. For example, if a search yielded 10 results, 1 - 10, and hit 1 is in category 'Toys', hit 2 through 9 are in 'Sports' and the last is in 'Household' then the facet would look like: facet.fields -> category -> [ Toys: 1, Sports: 8 Household: 1 ] The facet.sort only gives me the option to sort highest count first or alphabetically. So, the question I _really_ have is: how can I implement this feature? I could examine the results i'm returned and create my own facet order from it, but I thought this might be useful for others. I don't know my way around Solr's source, so I though dropping a note to the list would be faster than code spelunking with no light. -- Cory 'G' Watson http://www.onemogin.com
