I don't think boosting is really what you want here. Boosting _influences_ the score, it does not impose an ordering.
Sorting _does_ impose an ordering, the question is how to sort and the answer depends on how fixed (or not) the sorting criteria are. Do they change with different queries? If not, the very simplest thing to do is to index a field with a pre-computed sort value. IOW, if your ordering is _always_ source 5, 9, 7 index a source_sort field that orders things that way and sort on that. Then I'd have a secondary sort by score as a tie-breaker. If that's not the case, perhaps sorting by function (perhaps a custom function) would work.
