Querying a view with a complex key with a wildcard

[Mclendon, William C III]

Hi,

I've got a view that is built from a map.js that looks like this:

function(doc)
{
  if(doc['record type']=='search')
    {
    emit( [doc.status, doc.time], doc )
    }
}

Where the doc.status field is a string that is either "Running" or "Finished" 
and doc.time is a floating point value from 0 and up representing the time a 
task took to complete.

I'd like to be able to query the documents that are 'Finished' and sort by 
time.  This query works:

... /_view/searches_by_status?startkey=["Finished",0]&include_docs=true

But it doesn't sort… So if I change it to:

... 
/_view/searches_by_status?startkey=["Finished",0]&include_docs=true&descending=true

Then I only get values containing time=0

Why does adding the descending=true option change the results?

I've also tried this:

… 
/_view/searches_by_status?startkey=["Finished",0]&endkey=["Finished",9999.9999]&include_docs=true&descending=true

But this one doesn't return anything.

Is there a way to query this view to get records with a particular value in the 
doc.status field and still sort the fields?

Thanks in advance for any advice and/or help!
