Sorting with Solr

[Carl Hall]

FYI

Some of the fields we have in our schema get processed to the point that they are not dependable for sorting (KERN-1809). For this, we now have some *_sort fields in our schema. When using Solr for searching, the server will automatically append _sort to any sort field except for "score". If you try to sort by something that doesn't have one of these analogous fields, you will see server errors which should direct you to the missing field.

The fields that are currently handled are:

_created 
_lastModified 
timestamp 
vcal-DTSTART 
title 
firstName 
lastName
