sort by given order

[Johannes Siegert <jo...@marktjagd.de>]

Hi,

i want to sort my documents by a given order. The order is defined by a 
list of ids.

My current solution is:

list of ids: 15, 5, 1, 10, 3

query: q=*:*&fq=(id:((15) OR (5) OR (1) OR (10) OR 
(3)))&sort=query($idqsort) desc,id asc&idqsort=id:((15^5) OR (5^4) OR 
(1^3) OR (10^2) OR (3^1))&start=0&rows=5

Do you know an other solution to sort by a list of ids?

Thanks!

Johannes

Not unless you can somehow codify that sort order at index time, but
I'm assuming the sort order changes dynamically.

You can also sort by function, but that's not really useful.

Or, if these are relatively short lists, you can sort at the app layer.

Best,
Erick
