Hierarchical Facet Sorting

[Nasseam Elkarra <na...@bodukai.com>]

We have &facet.sort=true however our hierarchical fields are being  
sorted alphabetically instead of by count.

Here is the field type and field definitions:
<fieldType name="hierarchy" class="solr.HierarchicalFacetField"  
omitNorms="true" positionIncrementGap="0" indexed="true"  
stored="false" delimiter="/"/>
<field name="cat_facet" type="hierarchy" indexed="true" stored="true"  
multiValued="true"/>

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

What version of Solr are you using?
I just tried this with the latest 1.4-dev version, and it works fine.
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=cat&facet.sort=true

Note that facet.sort=true/false has been deprecated in Solr 1.4
