Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *closed* an issue as *Out of Date* This was solved in Search 6, though differently. @GenericField now has a flag to specify whether the field is sortable or not: @GenericField(sortable = Sortable.YES). As a result, there is no need to duplicate the annotation anymore. Closing as out of date.
