Class SortedSetSortField

SortField for Lucene.Net.Index.SortedSetDocValues.

A Lucene.Net.Index.SortedSetDocValues contains multiple values for a field, so sorting with this technique "selects" a value as the representative sort value for the document.

By default, the minimum value in the set is selected as the sort value, but this can be customized. Selectors other than the default do have some limitations (see below) to ensure that all selections happen in constant-time for performance.

Like sorting by string, this also supports sorting missing values as first or last, via MissingValue.

Limitations:

  • Fields containing System.Int32.MaxValue or more unique values are unsupported.
  • Selectors other than the default MIN require optional codec support. However several codecs provided by Lucene, including the current default codec, support this.
