I see… that makes sense, but it just returns us to the original problem, and the fact that Sphinx doesn't allow such a custom approach to sorting, short of constructing a complex set of nested IF calls: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-2.0.9.html#comparison-functions
And I'm not even sure if Sphinx handles nested IFs. Perhaps it's worth a shot, though it's far from elegant.
