Hi Erick, Thanks I saw that example, but I am trying to sort by distance AND specify the max distance in 1 query.
The reason is: running bbox on 2 million documents with a 20km distance takes only 200ms. Sorting 2 million documents by distance takes over 1.5 seconds! So it will be much faster for solr to first filter the 20km documents and then to sort them.
