Summary: Facet Values Sort Order: Add 3rd choice: Alpha-Numeric
Sort
Key: SOLR-9665
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9665
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: faceting
Reporter: Luke P Warwick
As a person, I need facet values to be in predictable, intuitive spots so that
I can quickly and easily find the values that are appropriate to me.
Problem Statement: Today Solr has two default facet sort orders, neither of
which provides predicatable, intuitive facet value orders for people.
Goal: Address two areas where index sorts facet values how a computer would
rather than how a human would. Both are really problematic for very common
E-commerce facets like size and brand.
1. Numbers need to be sorted from lowest to highest.
Currently Index sorts facets 1,11,14,2,21,3,30...
Numbers should be sorted 1,2,3,11,14,21,30 and so on
2. Capitalization should NOT impact sort order.
currently index sorts facets that start with lower case below all facets that
start with upper case. Many brands (for reasons unknown to me) start their
brand name with a lower case letter (while I would like to punish these brands
for this foolishness, I don't want to punish the innocent customers of these
brands).
Example:
Today: Marmot,Patagonia,Smith,Zoot,majola,prAna
Desired: majola,Marmot,Patagonia,prAna,Smith,Zoot
