Hi ,

By default Lucene seems to do a case sensitive sort on a field. However I tried storing the field with an analyzer as LowerCaseFactory but it dint work.

Is there a way to make sorting case insensitive?

Thanks

Lower-casing the field to sort on should work. Of course the value should still be single valued, meaning it should not be tokenized. Maybe it would help if you share some code!?

Here is the sample code I was trying to do but dint work

@AnalyzerDef(name = "sort", tokenizer = @TokenizerDef(factory = StandardTokenizerFactory.class), filters = {
@TokenFilterDef(factory = LowerCaseFilterFactory.class)
})
@Field(index = Index.UN_TOKENIZED, store = Store.YES,analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = "sort"))
public String cityName() {
return cityName;
}

Hi,

you should not use the StandardTokenizerFactory, since it will tokenize city names with multiple words (eg New York). Use just LowerCaseTokenizerFactory. Not sure if this is your problem. Can you give an example of your sorting issues?
