: Is there a plan to add a descending sort order for facet queries ?
: Best regards Sandro

I don't understand your question.

if you specify multiple facet.query params, then the constraint counts are 
returned in the order they were initially specified -- there is no need 
for server side sorting, because they all come back (as opposed to 
facet.field where the number of constraints can be unbounded and you may 
request just the top X using facet.limit)

If you are asking about facet.field and using facet.sort to specify the 
order of the constraints for each field, then no -- i don't believe anyone 
is currently working on adding options for descending sort.

I don't think it would be hard to add if someone wanted to ... I just 
don't know that there has ever been enough demand for anyone to look into 
it.
