Interesting...

One annoyance I have run across is the impedance mismatch between
range queries and sorting.

If your terms are  indexed as standard numbers, then integer sorting
is fast, but range queries don't work (for negative values).  If you
format the terms such that range queries work for any integer, then
you have to use the slower string (or custom) sorting.

Is there a way around this besides writing my own custom sorting hit collector?
