Description
Currently, the doing a group query gives the response in the following manner:
grouped":{
"field_name: value":{
"matches":5,
"doclist":{"numFound":3,"start":0,"docs":[{ ... }]
}}
There should be a way to sort the groups. One way of doing it would be to store a field in the index and apply sort on that.
But, having a way to sort groups according to "numFound" would be better than storing temp fields for this purpose.
