Sorting

[Fanny Yeung <to...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I want to implement search function using Lucene. As I need to sort the 
result by number of indexed fields. (say 3 indexed fields). I am wondering 
how can I implement that. Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks in advance,

Fanny

The easiest way is to create an extra stored field with the number of remaining
fields.
You could also store the names of the remaining fields and count these
before sorting. This gives you the bonus of allowing to search for the
presence of a field.
