The only two ways to influence facet order is by count and alphabetically. facet.sort=index will sort by alpha, the default is facet.sort=count
All that said, I still don't quite understand what you're asking for. Facets are simply a count of the documents that have unique values for, in your case, the "id" field. It doesn't make sense to sort the returned facets by some other field. You can facet on the other field and sort *that*. Sorting the documents returned is unrelated, but I don't think that's what you're asking... Or I completely miss the point...
