<?php

try {

    $swish = new Swish("index.swish-e");
    $search = $swish->prepare();

    $results = $search->execute("time");
    echo "First query found: ", $results->hits, " hits\n";

    $i = 0;
    while($result = $results->nextResult()) {
        echo "Hit #", ++$i, " - ", $result->swishdocsize, " bytes\n";
    }

    $search->setSort("swishdocsize desc"); //sort by document size
    $results = $search->execute("time");
    echo "Second query found: ", $results->hits, " hits\n";

    $i = 0;
    while($result = $results->nextResult()) {
        echo "Hit #", ++$i, " - ", $result->swishdocsize, " bytes\n";
