If you use a sort parameter with pagination, then you have stable ordering, unless as described with the 'b' example, a new document gets inserted into a position in the sort sequence that's before the current result page. One thing that you could do is make a copy of your index, set up a separate Solr installation that's not getting updates, and use that for your inspection. Thanks, Shawn
