How are results ordered in solr in a “match all do

问题:

When I use a "match all docs" query, '*:*', asterisk colon asterisk, how are the results ordered?

I presume they get ordered by relevancy, but the relevancy is equal in this case, right? So then, what's the scheme?

When two documents have the same score, Lucene sorts them by index order (the first which has been indexed first) so that running a query twice returns documents in the same order.

Since MatchAllDocsQuery gives a constant score to all documents, it returns them in index order.
