Different sort for each facet
In Solr 3.4, is there a way I can sort two facets differently in the same query?
If I have:
http://mysolrsrvr/solr/select?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=people&facet.field=category
is there a way that I can sort people by the count and category by the
name all in one query? Or do I need to do that in separate queries?
I tried using "f.people.facet.sort=count" while also having
"facet.sort=index" but both came back in alphabetical order.
Doing more queries is OK, I'm just trying to avoid having to do too many.

I'm glad that you have something working, but you shouldn't have to remove
that facet.sort=index.
I tried the following and it works with the Solr 3.6 example after I indexed
with exampledocs/books.json:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field=name&facet.field=genre_s&facet.sort=index&f.name.facet.sort=count
I see the name field sorted by count and the genre_s field sorted by lexical
order (note: "IT" comes before "fantasy" because upper case comes before
lower case - it would be nice to have a case-neutral sort.)
Could you try it, just to see if maybe we are not communicating about what
exactly is not working for you?
What release of Solr are you using? I am not aware of any fixes/changes that
would make this behave differently as of 3.6.
BTW, the default sort is "index" IFF facet.limit <= 0. The default for
facet.limit is 100, so sort should default to "count". I presume you have
facet.limit set to -1 or 0.
You might also check to see what facet parameters might be set in your
request handler as opposed to on the actual query request.

Hmm, it seems that if I leave off the initial "facet.sort=index" then
it will sort each by index by default, and I can use the
"f.people.facet.sort=count" as expected.
I thought I tried that yesterday, but I suppose it slipped my mind in
my sleep-deprived state.
Thanks Jack!

f.people.facet.sort=count should work.
Make sure you don't have a conflicting setting for that same field and
attribute.
Does the "people" facet sort by count correctly with f.sort=index?
What are the attributes and field type for the "people" field?
