+--- 1.6.3 IN PROGRESS
+
+Make termlist sorting stable. Terms with same frequency are now sorted by
+their display name. This makes a pretty display and improves our
+regression test because qsort is not a stable sort.
+
+New sort parameter value 'position'. The 'position' sorts merged records
+by their original position from the remote target. This is primarily useful
+for debugging and may be used for targets that already perform some kind
+of relevance ranking. Note that sort by default is decreasing; so to get
+records in their original order sort=position:1 must be used.
