With solr 1.3 I'm having a problem boosting new documents to the top.  I
used the recommended BoostFunction  "recip(rord(created_at),1,1000,1000)"
but older documents, sometimes 5 years old, make it to the top 3 documents.
 I've started using "ord(created_at)^0.0005" and get better results, but I
don't think I should be... From what I understand rord is descending order
and ord is ascending order, so why does this work?  Does Solr 1.3 still have
issues with date fields?
Thanks,
Jack
