I agree with Chris Hostetter that we might not be able to provide
suggestions for the use cases unless there are clear reasons provided
("don't like the order" is the feeling, not the reason how you want to
adjust the orders).- if you want to put some results on top based on some terms regardless of the scores, you could consider "elevation"; - if you consider that orders cannot satisfy you, consider changing the search query to make them more specific then the hit docs you want can have higher scores. - if improving the search query is difficult to satisfy the use case (I think it shall be enough) and you know what factors you can do to improve the scoring, you can customize the scoring algorithm to inject the score calculation to make them have higher scores. - if you want to show more results in a page (with correct hit counts and collapse similiar results from same site), consider using "field collapsing".
