ndushay: Stanford has title_sort and author_sort fields in solr specifically set up for this; I believe Bob has done something similar for UVa.

[MrDys]

ndushay: Stanford may get to this in its own implementation, but probably will need to be refactored in a more generalizable way.

solr.yml:
would need to put which index field, and what label for it in the pulldown box.

: Getting exceptions:

org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log
SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: there are more terms than documents in field "title_t", but it's impossible to sort on tokenized fields

Looks like we need to create some sortable fields. I'll need some help from someone with more solr fu than me.

: Added some sortable fields (title_sort and format_sort) and added a sort interface via a select element.
