Question

Is it possible to mention the order of sorting in SOLR facets.

I’m using f.<fieldname>.facet.sort=count which is always sorting in descending order (highest count first)

Eg:

<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="myfield">
<int name="a">97</int>
<int name="b">44</int>
<int name="c">42</int>
</lst>
</lst>

Is there any way to sort in ascending order.

Eg:

<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="myfield">
<int name="c">42</int>
<int name="b">44</int>
<int name="a">97</int>
</lst>
</lst>

Any information will be highly helpful.

There is an unresolved issue (SOLR-1672) for the same problem in the Jira. They added a patch, maybe it will help you.
