Am I understanding your problem correctly?
If you have two hits:
Hit A score = .7876546 rounded score = .79 date 2006Feb01
Hit B score = .7907536 rounded score = .79 date 2006Jan01
You would like to have the hits sorted as A, B but you are getting the hits in the order B,
A because they are sorted before you are able to round off the scores.
I've not used the sorting code yet, but it looks like you have to provide some custom ScoreDocComparator
by adding a SortField using the SortField(String field, SortComparatorSource comparator) constructor.
I'm just not certain what you should specify for the field value since you really want to
just round off the score.
Could someone with more experience using the Sort API clarify whether this is possible?

Subject: Sorting by Score
My primary sort is by relevance score and my secondary sort is by date.
The Hits.getScore() method returns the score by 7 digits to the right of the decimal point.
Therefore, If I round to only 2 decimal points in the display, the underlying 7 point score
will be different in the sort.
Example: score = .7876546 Display score = 79% The two scores
should be equal in sort.
score = .7907536 Display score = 79%
How do I convert the score in the Hits.getScore() method to sort to the rounded 2 decimal
point float like the score displayed? Any help will be appreciated.
