Thanks Eric, I did find the problem using Luke, I see that all of the documents have the same category field, so I must not be adding the field correctly when I index them.

But the sorting has always worked for me, and I don't remember anyone else posting a similar issue in the last year or so. Which means that the first thing I'd suspect is that something in your code. Which is why it would be helpful if you'd post some code snippets showing 1> how you index your field 2> how you construct your sort object 3> how you search using your sort object Best Erick On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 2:46 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Actually, I do a global search and the order comes out: 1, 2, 8, 3, 5, 6, > 7,8, 4, 9.
