I appreciate the feedback. We have altered the Nutch implementation to add a field for retrieval later use. The field holds information we use to sort the data differently than what Nutch has out of the box.
Have you tried the sorting API now provided by NutchBean, and supported by OpenSearchServlet? This was added in the last few months, well after the 0.6 release. It permits sorting hits by any indexed document field, as either an int, float or string. Is that not sufficient? The implementation is quite fast since it builds Lucene's sort facilities.
