So are you using swish.cgi as "search.cgi"?

I assume you don't have "sorts" set up in your config file.  So you can 
do something like change:

    # Set the sort option, if any
    return unless $self->set_sort_order;

to
    my @sorts = qw/ swishrank desc swishdocsize/;
    $self->swish_command( '-s', @sorts );

Or another opiton, if you are using 2.4.0, you might be able to do 
something like this in .swishcgi.conf (untested)

return {
    sorts => ['swishrank'],
    secondary_sort => [qw/swishdocsize/],

    request_fixup => sub {
        my ( $cgi, $conf ) = @_;
        
        # Force a CGI input value "sort" to be swishrank
        $cgi->param('sort', 'swishrank' );
    },
};

That make any sense?
