I'm glad that you have something working, but you shouldn't have to remove
that facet.sort=index.
I tried the following and it works with the Solr 3.6 example after I indexed
with exampledocs/books.json:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=name&facet.field=genre_s&facet.sort=index&f.name.facet.sort=count
I see the name field sorted by count and the genre_s field sorted by lexical
order (note: "IT" comes before "fantasy" because upper case comes before
lower case - it would be nice to have a case-neutral sort.)
Could you try it, just to see if maybe we are not communicating about what
exactly is not working for you?
What release of Solr are you using? I am not aware of any fixes/changes that
would make this behave differently as of 3.6.
BTW, the default sort is "index" IFF facet.limit <= 0. The default for
facet.limit is 100, so sort should default to "count". I presume you have
facet.limit set to -1 or 0.
You might also check to see what facet parameters might be set in your
request handler as opposed to on the actual query request.

Hmm, it seems that if I leave off the initial "facet.sort=index" then
it will sort each by index by default, and I can use the
"f.people.facet.sort=count" as expected.
I thought I tried that yesterday, but I suppose it slipped my mind in
my sleep-deprived state.
Thanks Jack!

Make sure you don't have a conflicting setting for that same field and
attribute.
Does the "people" facet sort by count correctly with f.sort=index?
What are the attributes and field type for the "people" field?

In Solr 3.4, is there a way I can sort two facets differently in the same
query?
If I have:
http://mysolrsrvr/solr/select?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=people&facet.field=category
is there a way that I can sort people by the count and category by the
name all in one query? Or do I need to do that in separate queries?
I tried using "f.people.facet.sort=count" while also having
"facet.sort=index" but both came back in alphabetical order.
Doing more queries is OK, I'm just trying to avoid having to do too many.
