What's the return order when the scores for two doc are exactly t he same

Hi,

 
What is the order returned by Lucene when the scores for two result
documents are exactly the same? I know this rarely happens in full text
search but it happened in our case. We build index over ID¡¦s of structured
data and try to search with ID¡¦s.

Thanks

The index order is the "secondary" sort order.  You can change this by 
using the new sorting facility if desired.
