If you're using the dev branch, create a StringType field "image_quality"
which contains zero-padded number and use that to feed a SortSpec.

If you're using either stable or dev, you can also use document boosts, but
that'll be harder to make work.

They're searchable via the general rectangular.com search, plus Google, etc.
They used to be on other archive sites as well -- gossamer-threads.com,
nabble.com -- but the archive bots all got unsubbed when the subscription
lists couldn't be restored from backups after a rectangular.com hard drive
crash in October 2008.
