sint and omitnorms

[sanraj25 <sa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
      I create own field name using integer field type and sint field
type(solr.SortableIntField) in schema.xml.
i can't differentiate between these two field type. When this sint exactly
use? If we use sint how it is sortable? I test by {sort =field name} in
query window .but it's not work properly.I have one more question.What is
the purpose of omitNorms attribute?If we use omitNorms what will happen? 
please tell me with clear example
thanks in advance

as before, the example schema.xml explains this in some detail...

     omitNorms: (expert) set to true to omit the norms associated with
       this field (this disables length normalization and index-time
       boosting for the field, and saves some memory).  Only full-text
       fields or fields that need an index-time boost need norms.
