I guess I'm having trouble understanding this. "I just wanted all the results, along with an option to sort the results, if the user wants it."
What does "all the results" mean? The results you would have had if it you didn't have a sort? There's no way to guarantee that the results returned by relevance contain the range you want, unless you really do return all the results, possibly thousands to millions of documents. If you used an fq clause, the app could sort the results without executing another search if you wanted to sort them by date...
