I think the documentation is incorrect. Taking a look to the code: org.apache.solr.schema.PrimitiveFieldType#getDefaultMultiValueSelectorForSort <goog_1918207994> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11854 https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/commit/e2bba98/ <https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/commit/e2bba98/> I <https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/commit/e2bba98/>t seems the documentation was correct, at the time of the original Jira? Maybe a regression happened.
