In the source code, SCNR.
Solr isn't about library data or any other special kind of data. It is a
very flexible text/string indexing and retrieval system. You may index
any string in very flexible ways, e.g. even so you can search it
efficently as "left anchored text field". Things like the powerful
facetting functions help to get the data efficently out of those index
fields.
But there is no bullet on the feature list "left anchored text fields",
because that is not a concept in Solr, the index concept of Solr is more
flexible and you need to adjust it to your needs to get a field that
supports such features the best way. That's what makes Solr so powerful.

You may sort any search result (and a browse list is a search result)
many different ways. And if you have sorted your list, you may of course
step up and down the list.
But you must add a front end to Solr that prvides all this flexible
functionality in a sensible way to the user.
