Any way to store documents in a fixed sort order within the indexes of certain fields(either the arrival order or sorted by int ids, that also serve as my unique key), so that I could store them optimized for browsing lists of items ?
The order for browsing is always fixed & there are no further filter queries. Just I need to fetch the top 20 (most recently added) document with field value topic=x1 I came across this article & a JIRA issue which encouraged me that something like this may be possible: http://shaierera.blogspot.com/2013/04/index-sorting-with-lucene.html https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4752
