Oh, and I'm searching by sql, because this doesn't seem to work:

order: '@weight DESC, @vintage_year DESC',

It gives me: Mysql2::Error: sphinxql: syntax error, unexpected USERVAR, 
expecting IDENT (or 4 other tokens) near '@vintage_year DESC LIMIT 0, 10; SHOW 
META'

in my wine_index.rb, I have:
indexes vintage_year

Is the syntax correct for what I want to do?

Thanks again.
