+ You're probably using the RandomPartitioner.  This is the default because it 
avoids hotspots, but it means your rows are ordered by the md5 of the row key 
rather than lexicographically by the raw key bytes.
+ 
+ You '''can''' start out with a start key and end key of '' (empty) and use 
the row count argument instead, if
+ your goal is paging the rows.  To get the next page, start from the last key 
you got in the
+ previous page.
+ 
+ You can also use intra-row ordering of column names to get ordered results 
'''within''' a row; with appropriate row 'bucketing,' you often don't need the 
rows themselves to be ordered.
