That's close. It's the order that the pages were returned in by
generator=search.

You may notice that submitting the same list=search query will sometimes
give different results, i.e. the search engine ordering of results isn't
completely deterministic. When you see such a mismatch between the indexes
in the pages produces by generator=search and the list produced by
list=search, the same thing happened between the two searches.
