Thanks Yonik, I was just looking at that actually. Trying something like recip(ms(NOW,datetime),3.16e-11,1,1)^10 now. My 'inspiration' for the ord method was actually the Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search server book. Page 126 has a section 'using reciprocals and rord with dates'. You should let those guys know what's up!
