I'm not sure how I'd do it that way.
What I want (what I _think_ I want :-) is a way to specify a default
order for results, for the cases where the user has only provided
exclusion information. In this case, I'm doing a match all docs, with
filter queries.
Could you index your documents in the desired order? This is the
default sort order.
If not, you can add a field that is present in all documents, and add
this as part of the query. Then you can fiddle with the index-time
field boost to alter the results (without skewing queries that have a
meaningful relevancy score as using document boosts would do).
