Exactly! If you search for some term, and then specify an ordering of the results, the pages should be labeled with your ordering, not numbers.
Let's say you search for "dengue fever" and then order by author. The page links should show the name of the author of the first article on the page. Then it's easy to home in on Robert Abernathy, followed by Robert Walker, then Frederick Cheung. Why make us guess that "Walker" is going to be around 125, then click from page to page? Just label the pages with the sorting field.
