solr:sorting on what type is faster

hi,
in databases, sorting based on text fields is faster and preferable, if i am
not wrong. 
similarly, which type of fields are to be chosen to sort in 'solr'? how the
ties are broken?
sorry for mistakes, if any ..

thank you

If a sort is not specified then documents are returned in decreasing order
of their score. You can get more details on the scoring at
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/scoring.html
