When using Ferret (Lucene) you are looking for relevant results. The sorting of the results is determined by parameters inside of Ferret. Unlike an active record .find() there is no :order parameter which is used here. You might check <a href="http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Index/FieldInfo.html" title="Ferret API: Ferret::Index::FieldInfo" rel="nofollow">this</a> page and read up on the different properties that can be associated with fields of an active record. Andy,
