Not sure about facets not being sortable but I think you are right.
One way to work around is is to just do it manually. There are about 200
countries in the world which results in a maximum of 200 facets – which is
still a reasonable amount for manual sorting, even more so if you can somehow
cache the result.
facets = Athlete.facets[:country_name].sort_by { |country_name, count| -count
}[0,5] # note the - for descending sorting
Hope that helps at least a little :-)
