Thus, you only want the change the result order.

Unless you want relevancy ranking (which is not the case,
depending on your description), ordering has nothing to
do with the indexes (at least not the text indexes).

Ordering can be done with "sequence.sort" (documented in
the Zope Online help system) or with Python's "sort" method.
In both cases, you can provide your own comparison function.
The comparison faction to use the vocabulary to check for
stopwords (words not known by the vocabulary are stopwords).
