The SQL query occurs to translate Sphinx results into ActiveRecord objects - so, it's not something that can occur before the Sphinx query. If you can't push the sorting logic into the Sphinx query, then your original approach (really large max_matches/per_page values) is perhaps the best.
An alternative is to rework your app so this sorting isn't required, but perhaps that's not an option :) -- Pat On 08/10/2013, at 5:19 PM, Sabarish Sankar <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Pat!
