Hi

You can upgrade to 4.0 and still use lucene.
4.0 has a change to sort on <>.no_locale which will be better - but not as good as localized ordering with SOLR.

Hi Andy,

I will eventually have to upgrade to 4.0 but that would require too much work at this point, because I'm using the dod5015 module which is not supported yet in 4.0.

So far, we have a few workarounds left like supporting sorting on the client-side only (with YUI).

But to shade light on what is going on here, my understanding is that we should not do a full index recovery when using "EXACT_LANGUAGE_AND_ALL"?
Because it would effectively break sorting?

The strange thing is that the cm:name property is still localized even after a full index recovery, so there must be some special treatment in this case.

Thanks for your explanation,

Sylvain
